You can use getBoundingClientRect() for this purpose. To get the center point, add the half of width to the horizontal distance from the left edge of the screen.

let coords = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).getBoundingClientRect()
let center = coords.x + (  coords.width / 2 )

To get the accurate vertical position from the top of the document.

coords.y + window.scrollY
