Positioning KML popup window with FME

I am creating a KML file with FME. Among other things, it creates popups in Google Earth. All is fine; except when I have multipart polygons, the popup window is displayed between polygons and not on one of the parts. Some users may prefer it that way. I am wondering whether that can be control with a setting in FME? That is that the KML popup windown is originating from one of the polygons.

I have checked the Format Attributes for the KML Writer and it looks like there is not one to configure what you want.

But there are plenty I have no idea what they are for, so take a look at them just in case:

I think the first step would be to find a working sample GML file or at least to point to the relevant element in GML documentation. As GML is xml/txt based, it must be possible to do it as post treatment after writing.
