Touchscreen with no X-server


I'm looking for a way to make touchscreen to operate under terminal (without X-server) as it would for a regular touch device.
My setup is rpi4 with raspberry 7" touchscreen (ft5x06) and it works as expected under any X desktop environment, but I want to use it with shell applications only.
With gpm daemon it currently acts like a touchpad/trackpad - i.e. it moves a cursor and a touch acts like a click at the point where the cursor is. What I want to achieve is for a touch to act as a click at the actual screen coordinates of the touch.
Any suggestions on how to do that?
