I guess in my naive logic, if I use the mouse to click on the kml layer (at the specific location I require) it knows which polygon is underneath the click, and pops up the infowindow containing the name and description from that polygon's kml entry. Therefore, if I merely trigger a click at a specific point (rather than with a mouse) I would expect it to respond in a similar manner.
If all it does is display the info that you pass to it and as you point out, kml polygons are not individually referable so that info about the polygon is not known, then being able to trigger a click on a kml layer seems to have no useable function. But as you say, I may be on completely the wrong track !
