callback that recognizes when I click onto a drawing element?

[a3bksll47]

I want to select an element by clicking onto it, and have some kind of event callback recognize that I clicked on that object. Anything in the Python API that does that?

You probably can use a selection observer. You can find some very useful code snippets here:

I had some problems with addEventCallback, so probably you should prefer addEventCallbackPivy; but that could be related to my low coding skills
