Google MAP API v3: Link markers to an external list

Question

Given is a database with locations, we feed those tho the google map api and all points are displayed. Now there is a list of this location right next to the google map. How can i link the places in the list to the dots on the map? Can i just give some kind of ID to each marker?

I want to light up the point on the map on the list item hover and open the info-box by clicking on the list item.

Can anyone point me into the right direction?
