For a terrestrial surface scan as it's requested here and probably only in plan-view it's unlikely that you'd have point layers on top of each other.
It's just a matter of filtering the results, for instance use the first one in the line of sight, or you'd have to turn on a limit box, or "NEW" feature have an AI limit box follow the mouse pointer.
(Or simpler move/recenter the limit box when using the right mouse button plus an "action" key, snapping to the cloud point under the mouse cursor.)
It's mainly coming down to retrieving the 3D information of the points surrounding your mouse pointer fast enough. Comparing a coordinate against each and every cloud point would take too long. It needs to be structured in some way, tree or voxels.
Again, as mentioned so often before, I'd like to see a proper documentation of the SDK, in this case the scan database.
A while ago and as a play around I tried to recreate something that I saw one of our geologists do in their software. He had a SX10 scan of a fractured rockface from me (10-20 million points). He was moving his mouse pointer around in the 3D view, with the mouse wheel he could define the search radius around the tip and the software was computing a best fit plane into the cloud points that fell into that radius, on the fly in real time. He had to go through the whole wall and categorize each and every crack/fault/different angle whatever, and from that they compute an integrity model.
Never say never. It's just a matter of wanting to and visual representation.

In my opinion, this cannot work. There can be several points in a row in the 3D view. Which point should the software use if you don't click?

... ok, it's simpler, in 3d view moving the cursor over the point cloud doesn't display the coordinates of the pointing location....
To get this data you need to create a surface , because on it this information shows up .... is time consuming and it would be easier to get this data directly from the point cloud

I cannot tell what you are wanting to do.

Good morning
For a long time I have been wondering what is the problem in order to make available in 3D view a preview of XYZ place and especially height, without making 3D surface/. The simplest CAD programs have such a function and TBC does not. Unless it is and I do not know where to enable /:)
