If TypeName(myHyperlink.Parent.Parent) = "TextRange" Then
    strTRtest = "True"
End If

Example

With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(2) _
        .TextFrame.TextRange
    With .ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
        .Action = ppActionHyperlink
        .Hyperlink.TextToDisplay = "Microsoft Home Page"
        .Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
    End With
