When the player changes his target there is a small delay before the global variable 'playertarget' is updated. This can be exploited and used for restoring your old target.

TargetUnit("unit")

CastSpell()

TargetUnit("playertarget") -- This will restore your old target because of the delay. It will not clear your target if you didnt have one.
