See if this accomplishes what you're after. I actually used a button instead of a shape, but the same process applies.
So, the "pseudo" marker is a button inserted on the base layer.
I created 2 layers: one I called hover, the other I called click.
Click Layer
On the click layer I created the "information text box, positioned it where I wanted, and typed in the "title text" and the "content text."
I created a trigger to hide the layer when users click the text box.
Problem, what if they try to click the information button, which isn't clickable here. Solution: create a transparent rectangle over the button area, and add a trigger to jump to the base layer when the user clicks the rectangle...it feels to them like they're clicking the button.
Hover Layer
Copy/Paste the text box from the Click Layer, and delete all the text except for the "Title Text."
Base Layer
Add 2 triggers to the button.
One to show the hover layer when user hovers over the button
One to show the click layer when user clicks the button.
It looks like Rebecca helped you out here, and in regards to searching the forums a number of users have reported difficulty with it and our team is looking into a fix for a future update of the Heroes site. In the meantime you may want to use this method described here:

Hi,
Thanks for the reply's. I actually ended up changing the states of the objects so that on hover it would act like a marker.
I am not sure if this was easier or harder but it seems to be working pretty well so far.
