Description

When using an touch related event such as singletap and click, different data is returned for each one. For example take the below events from the attached code, on Windows and iOS. These two events are only examples, I would expect the same data to be available for all touch based events such as longpress, longclick etc

I have been trying to implement this but had no luck, it turns out platform component does not allow this. I have pushed a PR for reference to see if we can benefit something from community: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/898 * Click events does not provide any coordinates, thus it does not return x and y. * Touch events other than Click do not return any row-related data such as row index. So I would resolve this as "won't fix" because of platform component spec, or just postpone this in this sprint target hoping we can get something from community.

So I once tried to fix this ([PR898](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/898)) but I was not able to make it work because of platform component limitations. I would remove 6.1.0 target for now but I would like to keep this ticket open so we can keep track on it.
