Welcome to emacs, where hackish is normal ;) I did get point and click,
basically by following the GNOME settings on this page
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/usage/configuring-the-system-for-point-and-click
I had to do that even though I'm not using GNOME or a DE at all. You don't
have to use pdf-tools (although I agree with Immanuel it is very good and
you probably want it) but I got it working in both zathura and xpdf as well.
I did have one caveat, it seems I need to open the pdf in zathura manually
instead of using emacs C-c C-c menu. I haven't tried it with pdf-tools yet,
so maybe that's just a zathura thing. If you get lilypond-invoke-editor
errors it may be that.
