Universal Analytics autoLinker supports useAnchor param (defaults is 'false') to change ?_ga=... to #_ga when user clicks to external link in multi-site setup or if downloads tracking is on.

It is very useful feature, because some browsers (this is browsed error, sure!) may save download.zip as download.zip?_ga=... preventing users from open download automatically on their computers.

For now we patch googleanalytics.module on each update by changing to:

 $script .= 'ga("linker:autoLink", ' . drupal_json_encode($link_settings['trackCrossDomains']) . ',true,false);';

(we use useAnchor 'true' for all our sites in this way).

It will be very useful to make it configurable parameters

Also, decorateForms parameter customize (set to false in code above) is very welcome.

Sorry, I'm not a Drupal module developer, I do not know how to add configuration fields, etc.

I'm able to patch single line in module (because only one line adds 'autoLinker' string to output), but cannot propose good enough patch to make this thing customizable.

No patch was provided within the last year. Seems like there is no interrest to get it in. If you are still interrested, reopen and sponsor or share a working patch with tests, please.
