I don't think you should sent mouse position to the server (object),
and therefore you have to process mouse button events before sending
them:

If you press the mouse button while the pointer is on a button
and then move the mouse away from the button before releasing it,
then that button is not 'clicked'.

So, only if you release the mouse button at a position that is
over the same button as were it was pressed that should generate
a 'clicked' event for buttons.

If you want to allow people to detect where on a texture the
user clicks, then I guess you have to send both with position.
