An overlay is just a collection of ROIs. An ROI in an overlay can by activated by long-clicking on it, alt-clicking on it or clicking on its label. You can drag an overlay ROI once it has been activated. In ImageJ 1.49h or later, you can drag an overlay ROI by its label without first activating it. Use the Image>Overlay>Labels command to enable overlay labels.

You can monitor the mouse up events that occur when when an overlay is dragged into position. The Mouse Listener plugin at
http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/plugins/mouse-listener.htmldemonstrates how to monitor mouse events.
