Sorry to disappoint. Here are a couple ideas to make up for it:
1) Have the link pass through a link tracker
(yoursite.com/track?d=newsite.com) that does an HTTP redirect - I think
this was your alternate idea
2) Have the onclick event create an image object (hidden, like
non-initial states for a rollover) and populate it by requesting a
tracking page (as above, but returning an image instead).
I'm not entirely sure what the behavior will be with #2, but I'm fairly
confident that the request will at least occur (allowing you to track
it) before the request for the destination link. You're essentially
making 2 requests in place of one.
Good luck.
