Is there any way to set the location of a label to the position of where you clicked on the screen? I am working on a cookie clicker like game and I’d like to show the amount of currency gained when clicking at the spot I clicked. Anyway to do that?

I believe you can do that with a [Canvas Label](https://docs.thunkable.com/canvas-label). There’s some discussion about how to move a sprite to the clicked/tapped position here and I think it might also apply to canvas labels:

I am trying to build an app where a sprite automatically goes to a user’s finger when they touch the canvas, and follows the users fingers. I need a way for the canvas to detect when the user lifts his or her finger any suggestions on how to do this?
