For clicking on an object (that has a collider), look at OnMouseDown(). For the 'chat' interface, look into Unity's built-in GUI system (that's not the only way it can be done, but it's probably the most straightforward way).

Beyond that, I think you'll have better luck if you ask more specific questions (either here or on the forums).

Basically i just want to click on the object and have a GUI pop up, but when i do it keeps saying to call the "OnGUI" function. But when i put that in i cant click on the object.

You'll need to post some code and tell us exactly what errors you're getting. You can edit your post to include that information. Or, if you need more general and/or extensive help, you might try posting to the forums instead.

All GUI must be called in the function OnGUI() make a boolean var and only run the GUI code if its true, etc.

On a side note, wow, a question beginning with "How do I". It's a miracle.

What you could do, is this. This is in C# since I don't know how to use JavaScript but it shouldn't be too hard to convert to JavaScript.

bool openChat = false;

void OnMouseClick() {
    openChat = true;
}
void OnGUI() {
    if(openChat == true) {
        //GUI Code here.
    }
}
