'Flask-GoogleMaps: are search and getCoordinates possible?

I am developing a web application with Python and Flask. For the front end I use Flask-WTF and Bootstrap.

I now work on the integration with Googlemaps. I've been experimenting for a while with Flask-GoogleMaps and have it working. I can display and manipulate maps on the web pages – so far so good.

Next step is being able to search for a location (just like on 'the real' googlemaps) to identify a location and retrieve the coordinates with a mouse click. I can't find any information / examples about that.

Therefore the following questions: Is that indeed not possible? And ...

  • if it is possible: how, please give me a clue ....
  • if it is not possible: which alternative approach can I best apply for my use case?
