You might think that you could use that technique to capture references
to the KML object, capture the overlay reference with
goverlays.push(overlay);
and then just not display the sidebar, but perform
GEvent.trigger(goverlays[i], "click");
from your table.
There's only one slight problem with that. If you use GGeoXml, the
overlays don't arrive in order. So the overlay that is goverlays[2] when
you open your page the first time might be goverlays[4] the next time
you open your page.
One way round that would be to use GeoXml or EGeoXml instead of GGeoXml.
They do preserve the order.
Another approach would be to place a key in one of the fields that
GGeoXml passes you. E.g. <snippet>
goverlays[overlay.snippet] = overlay.
...
GEvent.trigger(goverlays["My House"], "click");
Warning: This trick relies on undocumented details of the GGeoXml
behaviour. It may well fail to work in future releases.
