Getting Longitude and Latitude values from map onClick

The user wants to be able to click a location on the map and add a name/Icon at that point. I assume that none of the maps have this functionality. I know that I can provide a writeback table where the user can enter the desired name and icon, but we still need to be able to retrieve the latitude and longitude and store them as a variable or directly into the writeback table. Is this possible with QLIK's Map or any of the GeoAnalytics features? To pull long/lat data onClick? 

Note that we don't have the desired locations in a table anywhere. They want to be able to zoom in on a random spot on the map and create data for that landmark.

For example, on Google maps if I click anywhere on the map, a little popup appears which tells you the current lat/long
