Two types of minimap: "full map" and "player is the center" (square map and radial map)

I'm sure this has been posted before but does anyone know a trick to get the click on mini-map to get the camera to scroll to a corresponding spot on the main map? Bonus question lock the mini-map selected box to the mini-map box. (Not show beyond the mini-map / canvas)

Main problem is I'm using an on drag to move the camera - but what if I want the mini-map to instant the camera to that location...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

See this demo:

If you want to show a small selection box on the minimap, you can set its position to

clamp(Mouse.X("Minimap"), SelectionBox.width/2, Minimap.BBoxRight-SelectionBox.width/2)

clamp(Mouse.Y("Minimap"), SelectionBox.height/2, Minimap.BBoxBottom-SelectionBox.height/2)
