Thanks for the suggestions, Turns out it was straightforward, given a mode for doing the capture. Just required an event-fetching loop that used the global mouse position, passed to the dialog's delegate (which can perform a global > local conversion, and has access to all the relevant parts of the data model). The mode is ended on a click or keypress so the user doesn't get stuck in it.
