Indication around where the mouse was clicked

Hi, I think this might be impossible to do in Renpy, but I will just ask anyway in case I assume wrong....

Okay, I am trying to imitate the "click to present contradiction in photo" scene from ace attorney games. What happens is that after the player clicks on a certain spot in the picture, a small box-like indicator appears around that spot and flashes for a few seconds, indicating that's where the player clicked with the mouse.

Now, I understand that we have image maps and hotspots, but unfortunately, it's impossible to imitate that effect since there are just too many possible spots that the player can click on the screen. Now, if there is a way to retrieve the exact coordinates of where the player clicked, then I can use those numbers to position the box-like indicator around the origin in which the mouse was clicked, thus generating that visual effect I wish to present as stated above.

So, I suppose my question is, is it possible to accomplish this? Can I retrieve the coordinates upon which the player had clicked on?

Thanks in advance.

You could do it with a creator-defined displayable, if you had to. Those are given the raw pygame events, and then you can use them to position the box.
