Yeah, there's an RTS tutorial that teaches you how to do it.
Try searching for it.

You can use object screen x() and object screen y()

yes but that will only return the exact centre of the object.
Does anyone know what the calculations for OBJECT SCREEN x/y() is?
You could make a selection box and then check if the object position is inside it.

Is there an object screen width()? Then you could use
object screen x()-(object screen width()/2) and object screen x()+(object screen width()/2)
