I don't know of such a tool, but if you are running linux, you could create a shell script that relies on dependency:tree. You would need to check out all the projects you want to monitor, run dependency:tree (or dependency:list) on them with a grep on the artifact and print out those that match. You probably don't even need to use grep, I think there are some options to tweak the plugin to only print the dependency you look for.
