What you could do is either a OnMouseOver(){} void or function and the script must be added to the pickup object. Or you could use vector3.distance to make it that you pick it up when your near(Note: this will not use direction so you can pick it up without looking at it). I would go to the unity3d script reference and look up these two things, but they will not be great but its pretty hard to make it work perfectly.

var Highlighted : boolean;
var ChosenColour : Color;
var PickUp : String = “This Cool Thing Im Looking At”;

function OnMouseOver(){
    transform.renderer.material.color = ChosenColour;
    Highlighted = true;
}

function OnMouseExit(){
    transform.renderer.material.color = Color.white;
    Highlighted = false;
}

function OnGUI(){
    if(Highlighted == true){
        GUI.Label(Rect(Screen.width/2,Screen.height/2,200,20),"Press E to Pick up "+PickUp);
    }
}
