The plan was to make popup appears in a corner of the screen. placing them one 
on top of the other in order to not overlap eachothers.

I don't think it is required to have them link directly to the application 
tray icon, specially because the application icon is in the popup.

Now, I may understand you want the queue of the speech balloon touch the 
application's tray icon.
In order to do that, knotify need to know the position of the systray of the 
application.
Would KWin help in that case ?
