I think it would be difficult to monitor the clicks within the mail
client, and so if I were you I would focus on monitoring the servers
that you link to (assuming that you have access to those servers). If
the mail client is 3rd party and the web servers are 3rd party, then
I'm guessing that you're not going to find this easy.
