The short answer is no. The long answer is that we would like there to be.
I personally think we should evolve our concept of "PageView" to something more like "ContentView", and add properties such as publisher (google, apple, wikimedia, etc.), duration, etc. With our Modern Event Platform initiative, Andrew's building endpoints that 3rd parties could publish events for something like ContentView(s). So theoretically Google could send us a little ping every time someone sees Wikimedia content. As of now, this is just an idea that some of us on team Analytics feel fond of.
