Google Maps v3 custom map marker icon but with infowindow content from google

I've been wondering about this for some time:

Is it possible to let a custom marker for a place on a google map display an infowindow with the same information that the infowindows on maps.google.com display when clicking on a place, without having to generate the HTML for the content yourself (using the places library)? I hope you know what I mean. Please let me know if I'm being unclear.

It would be great if one could pull the information straight from google instead of having to do it manually. I mean, why do something that's already there, right? ;)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

edit: I've tried rephrasing my question to make it clearer. I've removed the example code because it was just adding to the confusion. Sorry, English isn't my first language ...

There is currently no API call from Google that will provide the default InfoWindow content for a Lat/Long location.

The only thing google currently provides is some Reverse Geocoding Infomation.
