I don't know of a simple way to do it.
However, Bernd's modTableField does do it, and it uses regular fields,
and it's open source - so I took a very quick look there.
It's not simple :-)
But there's a function 'gatherItemClickedInfo' that (with some
modifications) might be the foundation of a general handler for you.

Hmm, but if you look back to Curry’s last post he claims regarding table
fields, not data grids :
Working out which cell has been clicked: Sorry, that's not accurate either.
Yes, we do have that! Also for a long time.
Curry is a very reliable and valued source of LC knowledge. So, have we all
missed a clever and simple, non convoluted method of telling which cell in a
scrollable, non editable table field has been clicked? Even if that cell is
empty. Something as simple as:
put the dgIndex of the target into theIndexThatWasClickedOn
?

I can't write a test handler right now, but I'm thinking you might be able do
something like this:
repeat for each item i in the tabstops of the field:
if the clickH > i and less than item i+1,
that's your column
The clickline gives you the row.

This is rough but sort of works...
on selectionChanged
set the itemDel to tab
put word 2 of the selectedLine into tRow
put word 2 of the selectedChunk into nChar
put length(line 1 to tRow-1 of me) into tStart
put char tStart+2 to nChar of me into tText
put the number of items in tText into tCol
put tRow&&tCol
end selectionChanged
