Dont see how that could work. To be honest I generally use WFS instead 
of WMSGetFeatureInfo for this kind of thing. I draw the selected feature 
from the GML returned and construct the info popup from the attributes. 
Where this strategy doesnt work is when the geometry returned is very 
large. In this cases, it is better to use the SLDSelect object to do 
what you are attempting above, and WMSGetFeatureInfo (trigger from 
sldselect "selected" event) or a WFS query without the shape attribute 
in the propertylist to the attribute info.
