Well if it works then there is no problem, right :)? I think you are over complicating you implementation. You should be abstracting the various parts of a page into composites and supporting communications between the various composites using the publish/subscribe design pattern. The ability to encapsulate your logic into components (and that is what GWT widgets are) and use custom APIs for event handling that implement the publish/subscribe pattern is what makes component based frameworks like GWT and Wicket, for examples, very friendly and powerful, especially to Java developers who have a Swing background.
I have various views in my latest GWT application, http://lovemyvehicle.appspot.com/, which are all developed as per the above. These views have to dynamically swap in and out huge chunks of html depending upon what the user does in the page. The whole menu structure which also includes sub menus is also devised in that manner. For example, click events are caught by the buttons and links that fire them. These then notify listeners to those events who can be other composites who have registered to receive them. It all works and I never have to concern myself with event bubbling which is a blessing because of the disparity in event bubbling between browsers. Good luck.
