The DNN LinkClick.aspx have known issues, e.g. with the external URLs (see Raw URLs mode workaround #92)
DNN UrlTracking data is not related to the Document entity, but to the link
Current implementation of URL tracking does not allow to integrate analytics for downloadable files and some external links.
Tracking user and date/time of each click with DNN is probably overkill - I doubt it is widely used nor even useful (web analytics, again).

Solution:

Add TrackClicks flag and number of clicks field directly to the Document entity, don't rely on DNN UrlTracking table anymore.
Track clicks via JavaScript handler attached to the document links and WebAPI - this also simplify further integrations with web analytics engines like GA.
This will resolve Share URL tracking between modules #80, Think about different ways of cleaning up deprecated URL tracking data #81, Raw URLs mode workaround #92
