Description Matthew Flaschen 2013-01-29 19:52:25 UTC

In most browsers, users can right-click and open a link in a new window or tab.  Currently, this is not being logged.

Investigate doing so, perhaps using the contextmenu event.  I'm not sure we could log whether they actually "clicked" the link, but we should be able to at least detect the right-click in most browsers.

Muy importante. Without more accurate click logging, we have to use page-impression on the link destination for cohort and funnel analysis, because we're underestimating clicks.
