Is there any way to have the World Map some how output a msg when a marker is clicked?  
For example if I want to display data about the marker on the page outside the map?

the `worldmap in` node receives events when markers get created, moved, clicked or deleted.

what version of worldmap do you have ?  
you should get a `msg.payload` like
