You can do this, just use a mode=nquery.

Hi,

I think this isn't possible, but I want to check before getting too
deeply
into a GIS solution.

I have a shapefile that has overlapping polygons (regions). I want to
extract a single attribute from each polygon when clicking on an area
of
overlap. Is this possible using a point query request.

TIA

Steve
