For the record, here is one attempt which did not work.
If someone could help me understand why, I would be grateful:

(defclass twin-text-item (aligned-text-dialog-item)
  ((brother :accessor brother :initarg :brother 
            :type 'text-edit-dialog-item)))

(defmethod key-event-handler :after ((self twin-text-item) char)
  (key-event-handler (brother self) char))
