Two things:

a) qooxdoo events "bubble". Ie. the event will not only be delivered to 
the event target (the widget that should "have" the event), but all 
enclosing widgets (where you called the .add method on), up to the root 
widget, will be delivered this event (unless you "stop" the event in one 
of those widgets, that is). So you can register a "reload" listener e.g. 
on your top-most container widget, and it will eventually see the same 
event.

b) On the other hand, you want to make sure that you add listeners for 
such an event only to widgets that are really interested in it, and can 
do something sensible with it. So if your TableToolBar needs to handle 
this event, there is no way around attaching a listener to TableToolBar, 
as you did in your example. This is independent of *how* you achieve 
that, either by adding the listener in the TableToolBar constructor, 
adding it in the code that instantiates objects of this class, or over 
some nested object references like you did.

So you know that the event will bubble up the widget hierarchy, and you 
need to attach the listener at those widgets that really want to deal 
with it.
