Capture mouse/pointer position

Is there a way to capture mouse or pointer position in OneStream? I want to be able to change a value dependent on where the mouse/pointer is currently located within a grid. Any thoughts?

    Sadly, not. You can only run code when the user actually interacts with a component (firing the Selection Changed action).

      I think this is partially possible at least. With a cube view, you are able to setup bound parameters that are based on the user interaction/rows/POV clicked on in the cube view. You can then pass that bound parameters to rules or other dashboards as needed. For example, in a transactional drill down dashboard, I've developed a cube view on the left side with bound parameters passing through to a data adapter method query against an external db. As the user interacts/moves cursor to click on new rows on the left side cubeview, the grid view on the right is automatically refreshed with live transactions related to the users click/cursor via the adapter and bound parameter.

        Yes, but those clicks are indeed interactions :)
