You could use OnMouseDown and then enable or disable GUItext ,guitexture, 3dtext etc.

you should have a boolean to know when user clicked on something. for example

var showMessage : boolean = false; //a public variable to show text or not
function OnMouseDown ()
{
//user clicked on the object
showMessage=true;
yield WaitForSeconds(3);
showMessage=false;
}
function OnGUI ()
{
//if showMessage = true then show the message
if(showMessage)
{
//show text message
}
}

it makes the variable true and after 3 seconds again turn it to false for the message to disappear. you can also enable/disable objects/renderers/3d text or any other component.

ok but if i need to display 3d text on it, what should i have to do?

you can put your text in text property of the text mesh when you want to show it and when you don't want to show anything (after waitforseconds) make the text property equal to "" then it will not show anything. also you can add/remove the TextMesh component form the object or create a prefab of text mesh and instantiate it when you want to show the message and destroy it after some seconds (don't use this approach in mobile platforms).
