Not in official POV. You can however do it with the trace() function in the
Superpatch and MegaPov.
The syntax is trace(Object,Point,Direction,[Normal])
The function traces a 'ray' from a specified point in a specified direction and
repots the intersection point (if any) with the specified object. Optionally, it
can also return the surface normal at this point (see patch documentation for
details).
Now, from the XZ coordinates of the desired point, trace straight up towards the
HF, and you get the height at these coordinates.
