There is absolutely no way for Squid to identify what the user (if one<br>
even exists) has done with their keyboard (or shortcuts, or bookmarks,<br>
or search bar or...) that started the HTTP to happen.<br>
<br>
You can log the "Referer" header contents, requests with no Referer<br>
value are usually "first" requests. But that header is not always sent<br>
or is sent when users change "page". So the accuracy is very low for<br>
what you are asking to get out of it.<br>
<br>
FWIW: "<a href="http://facebook.com" target="_blank">facebook.com</a>" is a rarely visited page. Most of the users<br>
search for it by company name and click the results, or use history<br>
and bookmarks, even the emailed links FB sends out. All of which dump<br>
them straight into the middle of some sub-section of the FB site.<br>
