There's a RouteVirtualToMouse function that claims to work in some documents.

Bob,
RoutePCToJaws. Well, it's actualy hard to tell. I am using IE. The jaws
cursor is not able to see most of the text on the page, most of the time.
So, the behavior is a bit difficult to verify.
And, when I do find bits of text, I can not direct the virtual cursor to
that location. Sometimes, it gets in the general area, sometimes not.
What I am wanting, is for a sighted person to be able to direct my virtual
cursor, using the mouse, so they can show me things.
And, it seems like we should be able to get closer than we do.
It seems like you would need a little extra info in the side, that could be
created when the virtual document is created, based on the DOM. That extra
info would let you go backward through the process.
So, you could pick a DOM element, with the mouse, and force the virtual
cursor to now address that same element and, ideally, the same word in the
text the element contains.
Anyway, I'm not having much luck with this so far.
And, it does seem like a very useful thing.

Does RoutePCToJaws not do this when in a virtual document?

Is this currently possible? I want to have someone position the physical
mouse, and be able to route my virtual cursor to that location. Can I do
it?
If not, we need a way to do this.
