Unfortunately, no, never got to play it.

Did you click on these components?  Or were they strictly status 
displays?  If they were strictly status, then a large part of the 
problem is solved inherently in the genre -- you 'aim' instead of 
selecting and clicking.  That's the dissonance suffered from, say, an 
RTS where there's "clicking on GUI components" and "clicking on game 
components" and there is ambiguity between the two.

The only game I can remember that was like this was Harpoon I believe.
