Say, file downloads, we often track with virtual pageviews:
/virtual/download/readme.pdf

This is because we see these type of files, semantically, as page views, they often open in the browser or some kind of viewer. We apply this to outbound links as well. This comes with the benefit of setting upp great goal funnels, which still is pretty limited with events.

Would be great to be able to alter something along the lines:
_gas.push(['_trackOutboundLinks', {method: 'pageview', path: '/virtual/external-link/'}]);
_gas.push(['_trackOutboundLinks', {method: 'event', category: 'External Link'}]);
