{Reflect Damage}
Does RD target the source of the damage or the damage itself?

It doesn't target anything.
Oracle Text
"The next time a source of your choice would deal damage this turn, that damage is dealt to that source's controller instead."
Just remember the card has to have the word "Target" for it to target something. So for example {clone} and {cackling counterpart} do kinda the same thing.....except the counterpart has to "Target" your creature, whereas clone simply comes in play as a copy of any creature in the BF.
Which is why cards like Phantasmal image and phyrexian metamorph can copy hex proof guys.

I use the image to kill those annoying hex legends like {thrun the last troll} and {geist of saint Traft}
Let's say my opponent attacks with a {Coralhelm Commander} with 3 level counters and 2 {Champion's Drake}s
I am unable to block any of them, so I cast {Reflect Damage}
I choose 1 of the Drakes as the source
My opponent {boomerang}s the drake back to his hand
Do I get to choose a different source?

The redirection is not something that can be responded to since you are making the choice at the time damage happens. By then it's too late to {Boomerang} anything. It's not something that uses the stack either.
Thanks, I was pretty sure that is how it worked, but needed some confirmation
