This is possible - create a table with fields that you want to display in
Info window (in you case, Country and Postcode fields). When the
user clicks with your Info tool, find which Country and Postcode is
affected, and insert/update your table with this information (insert if
it does not contain any record and update if it has one record).
Then, use:
