The code can generate rectangles (Rectangle rectangle) at runtime. The position of rectangles may change according to users' choices.

I want to add code in the method where it creates rectangles to make the rectangles clickable. And after user clicking the rectangle, there will be a new window to show content just like text.

You can use Contains method of the Rectangle object.

private Rectangle _myRectangle;
private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (this._myRectangle.Contains(e.Location))
    {

    }
}
