Agreed it's just not good. While I can find the direct path to the file, in the documents module and a few others it's way too cumbersome to have end users post a file with a direct path as a workaround. They must first upload the file, and then locate the full path to the file. This is the only pet peeve with DNN I have!

I will definitely agree and throw my support behind some sort of function that disabled LinkClick.

There is nothing wrong with the concept of linkclick tracking - its more that its implementation has not evolved in line with the development of friendly urls.   Given that linkclick is actually now a dynamic element not a physical file it seems to me like it could be upgraded to actually be functional without breaking seo.

Maybe something as simple as 

www.mysite.com/linkclick/home.aspx could be a viable trigger for link click tracking.

Not to mention that fact that there is actually no interface currently installed inside DNN to display the results of the data collected.
