This question is related to my question here:

Google Maps V3 -> Is it possible to get properties from Geojson using lat lng coordinates or other information from search box?

Since it is possible to trigger a click event programmatically like this, I'm wondering if I can trigger a click event on a given lat/lng position in the same way?

Example code:

google.maps.event.trigger(marker, 'click');

Pseudo code of what I would like to do:

google.maps.event.trigger(place.geometry.location, 'click');

How to trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps V3?

Given the documentation it is really a long shot, but it would solve my current problem.

You can try passing additional arguments to trigger method:

var e = {
  latLng: new google.maps.LatLng(-35, 151)
};
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'click', e);

Here is a working example showing infoWindow every time map is clicked (or on programmatic trigger): https://jsfiddle/beaver71/5ndjq8ge/
