Edit:
xdotool click --delay 5000 --repeat 200 1
For 200 clicks with mouse
Open terminal, install xdotool
Also, open the window you want to click side by side with terminal. Select terminal (as active window) and move the mouse over the point where you want to click. In terminal type (try not to move the mouse)
You will need the x:XXX and y:YYY (bottom). You can move the mouse from here, but let windows stay where they are. Type

Save and close it. Then
To execute it,
To get less, simply change the 5 after sleep to less.
