I would like to add labels to my GE map with pop-up info balloons containing info that is relevant to the entire map without tying that information to any particular point on the map. I can create a placemark with a description, but that nails the label to an arbitrary geographic point.
I would prefer to nail the label to a point on the screen, so when the user zooms or pans, the label stays on-screen but out of the way (say, lower right corner). The closest I have come is to create a placemark and set its visibility=0 or delete its coordinates. That gets the placemark name as a link in the Places panel, and it provides the pop-up info behavior, but the label is not shown on the map at all.

Can this be done? I haven't found anything addressing this anywhere--any help appreciated.
