First, you can't really track "paths" of users with any exact accuracy. See http://analog.cx/docs/webworks.html for details.

Is there a better way? You are correct. You will need to do a report for each page and look at the referrer reports for it. You might be able to write a perl script to run these and collect the results. It is really no faster for Analog to try to do this kind of thing any other way. It still must do multiple passes over the data or collect HUGE amounts of it.
