getMouse( ) analog

This question is inspired by the following topic about Stored Processes @CLE:

SAS-Stored-Processes/Sgplot-with-drill-down-links-to-another-stored-process-and-pass

Can you drill down on a point on a graph by simply clicking that point? In Python GUI, getMouse( ) method can fetch the coordinates where the user clicks the mouse in the graphics window. It would be nice, for example, to get &MONTH and &YEAR for a stored process this way.

*ProcessBody;
   %stpbegin;

   title "Product Sales for &MONTH, &YEAR";
   proc print data=sales;
      where Month eq "&MONTH" and Year eq &YEAR;
      var productid product sales salesgoal;
   run;

   %stpend;

HI: I remember an example of a stored process in the sample library, that had something like this. When you clicked on a graph, it drilled down to the data behind the graph. You might want to check the Stored Process documentation and the samples for the Stored Process Web Application. Look here: https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/inttech/9.3/stpex.pdf at example 2.4.
