I see two ways to do this:

1) You *can* use GA and some Javascript embedded in your III pages to 
log "events" (as they´re called in GA lingo). The javascript (depending 
on your coding wizardry level) could track anything from hovers over 
elements, form submission, "next page" events, etc.

2) Move all or part of your catalog traffic thru a reverse proxy which 
does the actual tracking. Of course, finding the proxy software is one 
thing, finding one that analyzes the specific requests or patterns is 
another =) More likely you would have to find an OSS proxy then modify 
it to do what you want =)

I'd go with GA first =) By the way, I've done a bit of snooping around 
this area, you can email me if you need help =)
