I think you could do something like…

On event call("myeventhandler")

---
`myeventhandler

Case of
:(mousedown) `or maybe ( (mousedown) & (modifiers ?? command key bit))
If(<>top=0)
<>Top:=mouseX
<>Left:=mouseY
Else
<>bottom:=mousex
<>right:=mousey
Move object(*;"myhighlightbox";<>top;<>left;<>bottom;<>right)
End if

Else
If(<>top#0)
move object(*;"myhighlightbox";9999;9999)
<>top:=0
end
End case
---

Does this make sense?  First, read the On Event Call docs to learn the secret 
key command to disable otherwise you may lock yourself out.  And I'm sure I 
butchered the syntax for move-object.
