Magnus – yes: just to be clear, this is not particularly challenging from a technical standpoint (EventLogging could be used for this purpose) and I also expect the volume of events to be low compared to page impressions, as clicks on external links are in general two steps away from a page visit (scroll to the bottom, click on the link).
The main concern is privacy and data retention, we would not be in a position to pipe this data to an external site, not even labs, and before data of this type can be collected, Legal would need to review the actual specifications, given its sensitivity.
