there are different ways for that job, one is using r.water.outlet which
compute the drainage area for a specified point: get to coordinates of the
outlet point of your drainage area, and it will compute one unique
corresponding catchment area !

transform the resulting catchment area raster into an area vector
(r.to.vect), then use v.select or v.overlay to query the stream netwok that
is contains into the cathment area ...


[1] Using the wxPython GUI with v.overlay I did not see a data entry widget

in the command dialog box, there are several tabs. One is called "Options",
and there is a list box "Operator defines features written to output vector
map" which permit to select the different avaliable operator ...
