thanks... nice idea but if used heavily will cause too many redirect.

I've built a module that seems to work.
I use hook_init to share a unique identifier across all modules.
hook_exit saves hits and the unique identifier according to certain
conditions.
Other modules can call a function defined in this module to relate
events to unique id and optionally with other sub-modules have a
chance to collect other details, so that collection of details
become "optional".

Then there is a hook_cron that clean up registered hits if they
didn't end up in anything "interesting".
