This _might_ work

Add a ContainerListener to your top level window(s)

Whenever a component is added you will be notified.

Add your class as a MouseListener to all components that are added

Maybe a better way would be to make all components that are 'help enabled'
to implement an interface, lets call it IHelpEnabled.

That way you can configure it so that your help class only registers as a
MouseListener to all objects implementing the IHelpEnabled interface.

This interface could have one method called String getHelpText() or
something.
