Point to the place of interest and press the right pointer button to bring up the right-button menu.  From the menu you will be able to select various operations to perform on that point.  Note that all operations from the right-button menu are relative to the position of the pointer when the menu was brought up. Also, some menu items will be unavailable ("grayed-out") unless you are pointing at an appropriate object.
