Is there any more context for this? Is it the same on 8.1.39 or later?  
Would you use "On mouse click" or a component \ "OnMapclick"?

Ignition v7.9 only has Vision, and it should still work for Vision in v8.1. If you are asking about Perspective, then no, not applicable. (But might have other solutions.)
