The "item link" is nothing but a piece of string formated data.
The chat has a special way to display this data (the same way your browser displays a hyperlink differently from how it is written), including showing the tooltip (also just a way to display that data) on click.
It would be easiest if you could say "ShowItemToolTip(ItemLink)" or something like that, but I have no idea if there is such a function.
With 1.3 we got a whole host of new item link functions (and somes back that had been removed). So at worst you might be able make your own tooltip to display.
