trackExternalLinks

Adobe offers the ability to track outbound links without manually setting the tl() method for each exit link. Enable this variable if you would like to use automatic link tracking for exit links.

When enabled, AppMeasurement compares any clicked link URL to values in linkInternalFilters and linkExternalFilters. If there is a match, an exit link tracking call automatically fires.
