Would it be possible to institute a workaround using interactive items that have no use?

Most zones have at least one oddball spot (such as a tree or other formation) that will give a 'too far away to interact' message when clicked, and when in range, have no effect. Maybe they could be re-worked and relocated into a functional Messasge Board, if creating the objects is the issue.
The first part of your idea might be possible, with some work. The problem is that, even if we can have the client tell the server "the player clicked on this special object", the server can respond all it wants about messageboard info, but the client will have no idea what to do with it, because that functionality has been long removed. The client doesn't even have a concept of a message board UI to display information in, let alone typing in data and displaying it in game.
