Get mouse position (without event?)

Is there a way to get the mouse location without setting up an event?

I would do a mousemove event on a script on the Canvas with something like:

this.node.on("mousemove", function (event) { console.log(event.getLocation().x) });

But with this, the event only happens when the mouse is moving, and it doesn't occur when the mouse is overlapping a different node with mousemove, due to how the event propagates.

Is there not a way to simply grab the mouse position in an update function (for example)?
