Not possible. If you can't see a mob (literally in view, or able to target it by name), there's no way for your game client to tell if it exists or not. Like I said in my last post, you can only get coordinates for yourself and party members, and the only way to get coordinates for a mob is by standing on top of it (so its coordinates are the same as yours, which is how things like Gatherer and rare-spawn location recorders work), or by standing facing it and estimate its coordinates based on your coordinates and the distance between you and it. I'm pretty sure the fact that you can't directly get coordinates for mobs is an intentional choice on Blizzard's part to prevent the kind of thing you're looking to do.
