Sorry for being very brief, but you can use OverPass to query anything you want around a certain point with the around function

So in OpenLayers you have to convert the click to lat/lon, then construct an http-request to the Overpass API with around in the query, do the http-request, parse the result and show it somehow. I'm sure you can find examples of combining Overpass and OpenLayers.
