The mechanism is simply for the terminal emulator to send certain byte
sequences which correspond to mouse events to the application. It doesn't
matter if the application runs on the same computer as the emulator or the
bytes travel through an internet connection. It's the same mechanism used for
key presses , just the byte sequences are different and I think that the
application has to send first the appropriate sequence to the emulator to
indicate that it wants to receive mouse events. There is a  getmouse  man
page as part of  ncurses .

How do you know that a webpage belongs to a postmodernist philosopher ?
It is constantly under deconstruction.
