Mouse events should be triggered on extruded polygons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What should this feature enhancement do?
When clicking on the extruded portion of an extruded polygon at high camera
tilt, mouse events on the polygon's placemark should be fired. They
currently aren't.

Are there any known workarounds that produce the similar results?
It may be possible using a MultiGeometry.

The following KML is useful for testing. Note that if/when this works in
the desktop client, the correct behavior will likely be translated
automatically to the plugin.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
 <Placemark>
   <name>hey</name>
   <description>Description balloon</description>
   <Polygon>
     <extrude>1</extrude>
     <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
     <outerBoundaryIs>
       <LinearRing>
         <coordinates>
           0,0,70000
           1,0,70000
           1,1,70000
           0,1,70000
           0,0,70000
         </coordinates>
       </LinearRing>
     </outerBoundaryIs>
   </Polygon>
 </Placemark>
</kml>

Roman, I think this currently works on the desktop client.

Just tested version Google Earth 5.0.11337.1968 on Mac and Windows, the 
extruded part
isn't clickable. Are you using a different version?

You are right, the client also have problems. When I do your workaround is 
really the
BASE of the polygon what is clickable, not the sides or top.

The same applies for a non-extruded polygons that have a vertex raised - for 
example
a square with one side at altitude zero and the opposite one at an altitude 
(using
alt rel to ground) like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">
 <Placemark>
   <name>hey</name>
   <description>Description balloon</description>
   <Polygon>
     <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
     <outerBoundaryIs>
       <LinearRing>
         <coordinates>
           0,0,0
           1,0,70000
           1,1,70000
           0,1,0
           0,0,0
         </coordinates>
       </LinearRing>
     </outerBoundaryIs>
   </Polygon>
 </Placemark>
</kml>

Only the projected shadow (BASE) on the ground is clickable.
