Re: recording the coordinates of the mouse once clicked
Scratch can't distinguish between the left and right mouse buttons, sadly 
However it is possible to record the position of the mouse using the "mouse x" and "mouse y" blocks in "Sensing":
when Sprite1 clicked set [x v] to (mouse x) set [y v] to (mouse y)

Re: recording the coordinates of the mouse once clicked
I have an idea but it ask the user whether it is left or right.
when gf clicked forever if <mouse down?> ask [Right or Left?] and wait set [x v] to (mouse x) set [y v] to (mouse y) if <<(answer) = [right]> or <(answer) = [r]>> say [Code for Right Click] for (2) secs else endThe downside is for every time you click you get a question.
This can be changed to a specific call like pressing r then click
when [r v] key pressed if <mouse down?> set [x v] to (mouse x) set [y v] to (mouse y) say [Code for Right Click] for (2) secs endIf you need help to tweak this more to your needs let me know I'll look into it.

Re: recording the coordinates of the mouse once clicked
Or you could simply check whether the user is pressing another key - similarly to how one would Ctrl or Shift-click something.
when gf clicked
forever
if <mouse down?>
if <key [z v] pressed?> //"right click" - actually, Z-click
set [x v] to (mouse x)
set [y v] to (mouse y)
else //normal, left click
say [do stuff]
end
end
end
