Is there a way to "query" current pointer (cursor) position? For example: user clicks, I query and do some stuff depending on where the cursor is.

I know I can constantly track it using `Modifier.onPointerEvent` and save it to mutableStateOf, but that sounds like a bit of an overkill for cases when I want to only react on clicks.

You can save it when you detect the click 

`java.awt.MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation()`

It’s tricky to use that correctly. You don’t want to access it directly in a composition.

We’re getting rid of that internally in compose-for-desktop in favor of having the mouse event that triggers the action also store the location and pass it to the composition via state hoisting.
