I want to run some code when a user clicks on a particular point on the page, such as a point with co-ordinates (5,18) or something. How can I achieve this in ionic ?

I don’t know why you need this, but for a start you can try handling the `click/tap` events of the `ion-content` of the page and pass the `$event` object to the handler and you’ll have what you want.
