How can I spawn a game object/prefab on my mouse pointer while only hovering over a specific area?

Question

I'm a total beginner in Unity and C#.

I'm creating a simple game in 2D with sprites. To be brief, I would like to spawn a game object or prefab with a left mouse click but only when the mouse pointer is hovering over a certain area in the scene. I then need the spawned object to be held and dragged along with the mouse pointer until the left mouse button is released.

I've created a script that let's me click on and drag an object around the scene but I would like to spawn the object first and then be able to keep holding the left mouse button and drag it to a new location and then release to drop the item into a new spot. Does this make sense?

Any suggestions on tutorials or videos I could take a look at?

I'm also not sure if I'm posting in the right place (total noob).

Thanks in advance.
