That wouldn't be compatible with all browsers, and it could never be flexible enough for all variants, particularly variants with cards. The most I might do is allow clicking on spaces as an alternate method of filling in the moves field, but I'm reluctant to do that, because it may end up confusing users who would expect it to be more fully functional than it would be. For example, it would not be able to highlight squares or to identify legal moves ahead of time. Other online systems can do such things by custom-designing the interface for specific games. But Game Courier is designed for flexibility and generality, and so it requires a general and open-ended input format, and a text field is the most general and open-ended input format available. Anyway, point-and-click is not an essential feature, it is not so much more difficult to type your moves, and it does a player good to think about the actual coordinates he is moving his pieces from and to. So I don't expect to be adding anything like this anytime soon.
