How to get the parent node name in dialog listener of its child node

In a parsys section we can place a component placeholder. On editing the component placeholder a dialog box will appear to which a listener is configured. Is there a way for the listener to know in which parsys the component placeholder is being placed?

Note: Parent node of component placeholder is the parsys node

Purpose: Based on which parsys the component placeholder is located I need to validate entries in the dialog of the component placeholder. The listener passes the values entered in dialog box to a servlet where the validation happens and if valid the component placeholder will display the component.

Use path property for dialog object

function(dialog){

console.log(dialog.path);

}

Thank you! Tried this but it says "dialog undefined". Any idea where do I define it or to which node(s) it can be used? The dialog node which I am using is having an xtype:dialog and jcr:primaryType as cq:Dailog.
