This functionality is built-in. See section 1.3.4 of the Mathematica
book (as found by doing a search for coordinates in the Help Browser).
If you past the following cell into a Notebook and click on the
hyperlink it will take you to the appropriate section of the on-line
book:
Cell[TextData[{
"Coordinates, interactive selection of, ",
ButtonBox["1.3.4",
ButtonData:>{"1.3.4", "4.15"},
ButtonStyle->"MainBookLink"]
}], "Text"]
Cheers,
Paul
