To add to what Aengus said; Actually there is a piece of data collected called EXIT PAGE, which is the page last called before the user left. To "fake" data on what links were clicked you could have the link go to a page on your site that redirects to the external site, then you can analyze the hits on the jump pages.

Analog analyses log files - when someone clicks on a link that points to an external site, they don't normally notify your server, so there is nothing in your server logs to tell you that they clicked on that link. Some websites use a redirect script for external links, so that the user actually clicks on a link to your site, and then gets redirected to the external site - for instance, look at the "More news from around the Web" links on the CNet news page (http://news.com.com).
