Hello,
All data tracks are mapped to genomic. One method would be to export the 
coordinates of mapped genes and compare to the coordinates for your 
features with your own tools. Use the Table browser or ftp from the 
Downloads server.

For example, if using the Table browser and the UCSC Genes track, set 
output as "selected fields from primary and related tables", name, and 
download. The primary table, knownGene, should be joined with the table 
kgProtAlias to obtain the gene name as displayed in the Browser. Data 
columns of interest for you would include: knownGene.strand, 
knownGene.txStart, knownGene.txEnd and kgProtAlias.displayID. Some 
coordinate help:

Instead of downloading, another option to try is to send the same data 
to Galaxy. Also send your custom track data. Then use the function: 
Operate on Genomic Intervals -> fetch closest feature. It may provide 
the results you want. Click on the Help link (top black bar) for 
questions/tutorials.
