    Thanks for the assistance everyone, I was able to get what I needed. Here's the script I wrote to get the current X & Y coordinates and double click the object at that point.

     

    var screenMouseX, screenMouseY, controlPoint, onscreenObj;
    
    function double_click()
    {
    
    //Gets current mouse cursor coordinates on screen
    screenMouseX = Sys.Desktop.MouseX;
    screenMouseY = Sys.Desktop.MouseY;
    
    Log.Message("X: " + screenMouseX + " Y: " + screenMouseY);
    
    //gets the object below the mouse cursor
    onscreenObj = Sys.ObjectFromPoint(screenMouseX,screenMouseY); 
    
    //converts the screen coordinates to coordinates relative to the object
    controlPoint = onscreenObj.ScreenToWindow(screenMouseX,screenMouseY);
    
    Log.Message("objX: " + controlPoint.X + " objY: " + controlPoint.Y);
    
    //double clicks the object from the converted coordinates
    onscreenObj.DblClick(controlPoint.X,controlPoint.Y);
    
    }
