Hi Martin,
As far as I know, picking is totally independent of the rendering. So
the "Info tool" doesn't know about the displacement renderer. I know it
is not ideal, but it is a technical limitation and there are no known
workarounds.
You can, however, display the central point (with a separate symbol) so
the user knows where to pick. Also, you can easily access each
individual point by changing the identify mode to "Layer choice" - where
you get a pull-down menu and you can identify each individual point by
its "display attribute".
Maybe a dev knows a solution to this problem - but currently I think
there are no known workarounds.
