[gatsby-plugin-google-analytics] Pass event category, label, and action to the <OutboundLink> component

See original GitHub issue

Summary

Be able to pass event category, label, and action as properties to the <OutboundLink/> component provided by gatsby-plugin-google-analytics

Basic example

<OutboundLink href="mailto:careers@site.com"
    eventCategory="careers"
    eventAction="apply"
    eventLabel="office_assistance">
  <Button>Apply now</Button>
</OutboundLink>

Motivation

It would be great if we can have some control over the category, action, and label of each event so that we can make Event flows based on some of those event properties.
I would be happy to contribute if you guys think that this addition would make sense.

Thank you for the issue!

That would be a great feature indeed! Would you like to make a PR to fix that? You would need to change OutboundLink component to take category/action/label from the props.

Thank you! 💜
