It looks like you are passing Google Earth a link to your map server, which returns an image. Is this session based? If a user saves the network link in their Places, will it still work later?

Have you considered writing an application that returns point/line/poly data to Google Earth? I'd imagine that with ArcObjects it wouldn't be too hard to extract the coordinates and build this into KML. Symbolization would be somewhat problematic though.

- Pass range/tilt angle along with the BBOX variable in the NetworkLink call

This is apparently going to be supported in the future (see post)

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up, sounds like the GE guys are making it even easier than I would have hoped for.

- Ability to load <description></description> via a URL for points (this could be HUGE for allowing integration into new and existing GIS apps)

OHHH. That's a great idea. I've already been taking advantage of this with the placemarks in Google Maps. The HTML support in Google Earth may need to be improved to support some of those apps though.

More or less what I am looking for is a way to dynamically load more information when a user clicks on a placemark. This way you could create functionality similar to an "identify" in a GIS tool. Right now you can link to a web page (too many steps), or load all the info up front into the KML (too much processing work/big downloads.) If I could render it in a full HTML reader that would be a big bonus, but the dynamic loading is what I need.
