You can open multiple description windows setting allowMultipleDescriptionWindows to true in your config and then calling clickMapObject on the desired areas to open them programmatically, for example:

AmCharts.makeChart("mapdiv", {
  // ...
  allowMultipleDescriptionWindows: true, 
  listeners: [
    {
      event: "rendered",
      method: function(e) {
        var map = e.chart;
        //trigger the description windows for these regions
        map.clickMapObject(map.getObjectById("FR-D"));
        map.clickMapObject(map.getObjectById("FR-E"));
      }
    }
  ]
});
