Well, yeah, it clearly has a `onMarkerClick` event. If you are asking about individual marker properties when clicking, then look at the event data passed in `runAction(self, event)`.

do you mean the autocomplete popup? `ctrl+space`

You can also check the user manual on these things. [Perspective - Map Scripting | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-display-palette/perspective-map/perspective-map-scripting#onmarkerclick)
