The most I'm aware of Apple documenting this is in the "Tips" menu
section titled "Interactive Placement" that is able to be viewed when
one chooses the New From Template option. It doesn't really go into
more detail than you already seem to have found out about.

It only moves objects in X and Y, not Z, and it has no ability to
rotate (I've filed these as a feature request). All of the patches
that are interaction enabled have an interaction port at the very top
of the patch. I'm not aware of an exhaustive list; it may just be
Sprite, Billboard, and Mesh.
