Property node for index of array's cursor location

[SteveP]

A property node that provides the index(s) of the cursor location in an array would let us know on which element of an array a user had clicked.  That can be usefule for example to provide additional information replated to specific array value, such as using the array as a list of peaks on a graph.  Currently, the mouse down event provides Cord values but those are as pixels.  Similar information for tables would be useful.

Yes! Of course! Current method of arriving to element clicked is not a straightforward process!

A simpler implementation would probably be a method which accepted the coords, similar to the method graphs have today.

Another alternative would be to ship a VI which accepts the reference and coords and returns the element. There are already such VIs available online, but it would be useful if one shipped with LabVIEW.

I was about to make an Idea about this, but came across this old gem. Yes, tst, a "Coords to Index" method would be nice. Also, I would not be opposed to including it in the native data of events on the array that currently have Coords:
