Get placeId on google maps when POI is clicked
I'm using Google Maps JS V3 API on my website. I'm able to use getDetails by placeId when user searches for a place. I would like to do the same when user clicks on a POI. However, I can't seem to find a way to get this placeId when user clicks on a POI instead of using the search box. I have done research for days, and had no luck of finding anything close. I came across this feature request, I wonder if there is really no way of getting the placeId by POI clicking: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=8113&q=poi&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Introduced%20Fixed%20Summary
