I don't know enough about 'link clicking' to understand why click info is not recorded if you open a link in a new tab in your browser window. I know you mention that a 'background javascript call' is done to preserve the link and not redirect. Is there a way to record click info when opening in a new tab (or window) while still preserving the link and not creating redirects?

Hello.

This is y well known issue (see for instance http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7844890/how-to-capture-open-link-in-n...) in any JavaScript code.

I do not think that you can specifically target the "open a link in a new tab" action.
I suppose you can monitor right clicks but it will generate false positives, instead of current false negatives.
