I think the key here will be to make the event bubble. This way, you can put the listener on any component in the hierarchy above the dispatcher and it will call the handler.
I don't think it is wrong to say that a listener "listens to the component". I haven't been deep enough into the framework event code to be specific, but conceptually, that is a valid way to look at what happens.
