I'd like to have some sort of text editor inside a 3D scene.

If I have a big 3D text object, is there a way to get the coordinates of a particular character? Or the reverse, find which character is at a particular point in space? (So that when the user clicks on a particular character I can put a cursor next to that character, etc.)

Or if I could just embed some existing 2D text editor onto the surface of a 3D object, that'd be fine too. (Is there a way to display arbitrary HTML on a surface?)

Any ideas? Has this been done already?
