Hi.

"featureselected" listeners aren't provided with that information.

But you may want to try the following in you "featureselected" listener:

    var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromPixel(control.click.down);

Untested!

Even if it works there are two problems with doing that :

- control.click.down doesn't give the click position, it gives the
mousedown position. So if the mouse moves between mousedown and
mouseup then control.click.down is not the click position. By default
Handler.Click has "pixelTolerance" set to 2.

- doing this involves accessing private variables, so it may break
with futures OpenLayers versions.
