Is it possible with celx to place a mark at a specific point in space?

I know it is possible to mark one or many objects.

I do not want to mark an object, just place a diamond or "x", etc.
in space at a specific (x,y,z) and have it stay there for the duration
of the script run...

sorry, but, bump

You can possibly create a placeholder and mark it, no?

As ElChristou mentioned, you have to create a placeholder object. This is a current deficiency of Celestia's markers that I want to address soon.

Is it possible then to actively create (i.e. not from a file) a placeholder within celx or lua? I've been rereading the celx/lua material but I cannot see where this is possible. I did not read all the lua commands, yet. I don't suppose you could have a list of positions exported and then imported without restarting celestia.
