I want to throw an object and have it land in a particular location, how would I calculate the required impulse vector.

If you really want to calculate the impulse I can't help you. If you just want the obejct to land anywhere you can use the moveTowards() function.
But unfortunately you have to manually stop the obejct when reached the position.

Is there another way betajaen?

moveTowards isn't really designed for that.

Calculate the force, required to throw it?

F=MA (or A=F/M) should help you out a little.
