As far as I can tell, you can't. It is possible to find the current (active) item (:SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM system variable tells that information). Or, if mouse is in an item, use :SYSTEM.MOUSE_ITEM (with certain restrictions - check Forms Online Help System).

However, knowing mouse pointer coordinates within an Oracle form, while mouse is out of any item ... I really wouldn't know how to do that.
