Redirect markers or disable ‘get direction’s

Hi,

I have a travelblog, and I would like to use the markers, to redirect people to a page with blog-articles about a certain country.

I would like to:
– Show the country name, when someone hovers over the marker + redirect to a page when someone clicks on the marker.
OR
– I want to add a URL in the Infowindow (this has already been achieved), but I want to disable the ‘get directions’-function (and not show this).

Is one of these options possible?
If this is possible, could you please tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Nick
