A simpler option might be to rotate each of the marker's icons so that their icons are visible and clickable. This only works for up to a few markers, and may not be feasible if you're not using standard pin-like markers. You could open one infowindow up by default, then add an arrow to that window to "cycle" to the next one. That means the user doesn't have to click 2 times to get to some content. Alternatively, you could use a menu that appears on mouse-over to select which of the infowindows to display.
