In the Search bar in Dynamo, search for select model element, (keyboard keys clicking) click to add the node to the workspace. The Select Model Elements node allows me to click Select and select an item inside of Revit. This item's stored as an element, which is the door family you've seen, here. With Dynamo, I can use the GetLocation node to find the underlying location of this family.
