Subject: Distance from the screen.

I want to pan and zoom an object in a view window.   When I grab the object and pan I want the object to remain fixed to the mouse cursor.  Of course, when I zoom in or out on the object,  the mouse coordinates wont match up with world coordinates.  The further away i move the object the slower it is going to appear to move, and it certainly wont keep up with the mouse
 
I know how far back the object is from the screen, but I dont know how far in front of the screen the focal point? If I knew this I could just use the triangle to figure out how far to move the object relative to the mouse movement.
 
Hope this made sense :(
