Set the tabstops to a number greater than the width of the field.
Set the itemdelimter to tab.
Then put the OtherData of each line into the second item of each line.

As long as there’s no horizontal scrollbar on the field the user will never see 
the OtherData.
Getting item 2 of the hilitedline will always give you the corresponding 
OtherData for the word the user has selected.

I've done this often, it's a nice clean solution. And now that we can set tabstops to 0, the second item won't be visible whether there's a horizontal scrollbar or not.
