Spawn FX using mouse coordinates

Hello. I gave my players some abilities and would like to trigger special fx when they use them. Most of the time the chat command /fx is sufficient, but unfortunately you must target a token to use it. I was thinking of building a custom API script to remedy this, however it doesn't seem to be possible. I would like to be able to mimic the behavior of the /fx command but with the possibility of asking the user to target a point on the map and not a token. Am I right to assume that this is not yet possible? Thank you.

Currently there is no way to target a point on the map using the API.
