How to avoid positioning ChartJS's tooltip on specific datasets on a chart?

I'm using ChartJS to display stripes (ranges) and inside each stripe I'm display a line of the median value. I'm hiding the stripes' presence in both the legend and tooltip lists. That's done by adding this string in the dataset label: "HIDE!" and then just filtering out those items through the tooltip and legend options.

When I move the mouse over the chart, I've configured the tooltip to be positioned on the nearest vector, but that should only be hapenning on the line datasets, and not on the stripe datasets. Examples below:

Tooltip using a stripe as nearest vector (this is NOT ok):

problem

Tooltip using a line as nearest vector (this is ok):

tooltip on point

So the question is: How can I avoid positioning the tooltip tick on the stripes' vectors, and only use the lines' vectors for that? It seems that the filter option only hides the item from the legend list itself, but not from the graphic when it comes to position the tooltip div.

Here's my current code (you can check the jsfiddle as well):
