How To Add a Local Variable to an Item?

[jonpetro]

I need to add a local string variable that can be set on items. I've compiled a .gda named var_item that has the additional variable and I placed it in my core/override, but I can't seem to get it to apply to items, only the mod - ie. If I use GetModule() instead of the item object, it pulls the correct value. Any help would be appreciated.

BTT. Someone's gotta have an idea, this would REALLY simplify things for me!
