Sculptor and engineer Stefan Bennedahl created a hook called the Clever Hook that truly lives up to its brainy name:
Neatly packed into a translucent acrylic housing, the wall-mounted Clever Hook has a self-grabbing mechanism that holds up to 40 lbs. When you hang a towel or jacket on the lower “arm” of the mechanism, the weight of the item automatically causes the top “arm” to come down and pinch the item in place; the heavier the item, the tighter the grab. To remove, slightly lift up the item, and the top arm will retract.
The Clever Hook makes it easy to hang things like towels that tend to fall off hooks, as well as items like jackets and coats.

Most others that I found have you cook the sugar mixture to 250D or as high as 260D.
You don't need cream of tartar. It's purpose is to prevent the sugar from crystalizing which is what lemon juice or citric acid will do. Adding it to the cornstarch mixture does nothing.
You've got to be careful with the stirring. Too vigorous and the starches break down which prohibit gelling.
Need to read up some more but for now, I'm going with this: https://aegeandelight.com/authentic-turkish-delight-recipe-from-narnia/
Pretty sure it's that one - I've got a lot of open tabs here. . .
