Getting GameTooltip:GetItem()

There's a way to get GameTooltip:GetItem() when GameTooltip is hidden? I know the GameTooltip tries to show when mouse hovers a game object, so I tried this script, but it doesn't seem to work

Lua Code:

GameTooltip:HookScript('OnShow', function(self)
    print(self:GetItem())
end)

I made this script working when GameTooltip is hidden:

Lua Code:

GameTooltip:HookScript('OnTooltipSetItem', function(self)
    print(self:GetItem())
end)

However this script stop to work when the GameTooltip is hidden due to a conflict with another addon.
Is there any way to protect my script from future conflicts like this?

What about using AceHook? It allows you to make a safe hook without conflicts
Or you can save you item to another variable

Lua Code:

GameTooltip:HookScript('OnShow', function(self)
    myItemVar = self:GetItem()
end)

If I understand your idea correctly...
