Actually I once did sit down to implement it that way.  Then I
figured out that finding the nearest station to the mouse click was
a complicated mess, and the Station Info dialog already did it.  The
function was then added to the Station Info dialog.  It could be
implement as it's own function in the right-click menu but it would
take more work to generalize the functions so that several places in
the code could use the "locate station from mouse click" function.
