I suggest you embed the attributes like road name into the feature. Then 
when you Mapbuilder queries the WFS (which returns GML) you get a 
feature returned with attributes. You can then use a widget like 
AttributeList to display the attributes when clicked.
Have a look at the query button in the wfs-t example:
