AFAIK, d.where does not allow direct interaction with the display 
anymore. It "just" takes screen coordinates and outputs them as map 
coordinates. In GRASS 6 you could get the screen coordinates by clicking 
on the d.mon display, but in GRASS 7 this is handled by the GUI (g.gui 
or d.mon wx*). In other words you chose the GUI interrogation tool and 
when you click on the monitor, it launches d.where and you get the 
coordinates. You can ask for these coordinates to be redirected to the 
console.

I agree that the current solution is not ideal. For example, it is not 
straightforward how to collect the info into a file. Also: the output is 
not really as machine-parsing friendly as it could.

See https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3310 and add to it if you think 
something is missing.
