External event on Highcharts/highstock





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm using ng-drag-drop and highcharts/highstocks.
I need to drag and drop an external item into the highcharts/highstock and create a marker. Per the docs in highcharts/highstocks, you can drag and drop but it is within the chart container.



So what I did was get the event of the entire page.
On drag and drop, I retrieve where I dropped the position relative to the entire web page. My question is, how do I translate the entire page position (pageX, pageY) into highcharts/highstock coordinates (within the plot). The dragged item is dragged from a parent component and into a child component, where the chart is.



enter image description here



//parent component



OnItemDropped(e:any){
//X and Y coordinates of the entire webpage when item is dropped
const add = { coord: { x: e.nativeEvent.pageX, y: e.nativeEvent.pageY }, name:'marker1' }
this.pinnedItems = [...this.pinnedItems, add]
}


so coord.x and coord.y is the entire page. but I need it to set at the page coordinates. Obviously, the position doesn't match with chart's. Is there a way where highcharts can recognize the page's XY coordinates as the chart's XY coordinates?



Alternatively, I thought about retrieving the html value of the page coord. But I cant seem to find out where that resides in the nativeElement object.
