The solution:


Create a custom event, call it using the onclick attribute of the anchor tag (of the outbound link), as per this article, using the JavaScript code below
Create an exclusion for that event using advanced segments

var trackOutboundLink = function(url) {
if (typeof ga !== 'undefined') {
ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, {
'transport': 'beacon',
'hitCallback': function(){document.location = url;}
});
} else {
console.log("Google analytics object was not found!");
}
}

jQuery(function() {
var url = "https://members.example.com";

jQuery("a[href *= 'members.example.com']").on('click', function() {
trackOutboundLink(url);
});
});
