I don't think this is possible at present. I tried to do find a way to detect the click coordinates in a View Canvas so the user could add views containing icons onto a floor layout. There was no solution to my bumping this [View Canvas mouse click coordinates](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/view-canvas-mouse-click-coordinates/84636) thread. It does seem like a significant omission.
