Description
Currently polyscope.get_selection() in python only returns the face/cell you clicked on. It would be super useful for animation and interaction if we could additionally get just a little more info like the position on the mesh of our click!

Research direction
Start at the Python polyscope.get_selection() entry point and trace how mouse picking reaches the C++ viewer. Determine how the click position should be represented and returned alongside the selected face or cell; no file or test is named in the issue, so completion should be checked against the selection API behavior.
