InfoWindow from overlays outside map div or as lightbox

I have a small map (width max 220px).

Below the map there are some checkboxes to toggle overlays like
wikipedia or panoramio, this works great:

$('.toggleOverlay').live('click', function(a) {
overlay = new GLayer($(this).val());
if(this.checked) {
MarkersArray[$(this).val()] = overlay;
map.addOverlay(overlay);
}
if(!this.checked){
map.removeOverlay(MarkersArray[$(this).val()]);
map.removeOverlay($(this));
}
});

Since the infowindows are wider than the map, the infowindow is not
shown totally, unless you move the map.

So I thought it would be great to open the infowindow as a lightbox.
Maybe anyone has a hint for me on how to catcht the click event from
the overlay-markers and have this opened outside the map div or as a
lightbox?
