When I have used hooks, I have looked the hook location up in the templates (Search in Templates) to see what variables are available. For example, searching for "starter_threadview_text_1" gives me the display_contenttype_conversationstarter_threadview _Text template. It looks like the variable conversation is available there. Another thing I sometimes do is then search the files for that template to find out exactly what other variables may be available.
