Widget absolute coordinates (to tell if a mouse click is within its boundaries)

[jeffwright13]

Is there a way to tell what range of coordinates a specific widget occupies? For example, a Panel object has a height and a width, but I can't find any attributes that tell what absolute coords it overlays on the console.

The reason I am looking for this is to be able to tell if a mouse click is 'inside' an object or not. I'd like to be able to click on a Panel, for example, and after verifying that the click is within the Panel's boundaries, run some callback code. I can use a library like pynput to get absolute screen coordinates for mouse clicks. I just need something to compare those values to.

On further reflection, this is probably a malformed question. Messing about with pynput I see that the coords it returns from on_click() are the absolute coords of the mouse within the whole screen of the computer, not just within the console/terminal being used. SO if I move my terminal around on my desktop, those values change.

So really, I guess the only think I can fall back to is asking: how do I know when a mouse click has occurred within a rich Panel?
