trackDownLoadLinks
Adobe offers the ability to track download links without manually setting the tl() method for each download link. Enable this variable if you would like to use automatic link tracking for download links.
When enabled, AppMeasurement compares any clicked link URL to values in linkDownloadFileTypes. If there is a match, a download link tracking call automatically fires.
