Description
Platforms like Gtag have an API that supports things like retrieving the generated clientId, which we need for passing the GA id to segment. The code looks something like:
gtag('get', GA_ID, 'client_id', clientId => {
gaClientId = clientId;
sendClientToSegment();
});
However, I don't see anything in Analytics or the Gtag plugin that supports this. Is that true?

Start by reviewing the Analytics and Gtag plugin integrations mentioned in the issue, then trace how third-party analytics APIs are exposed. Determine whether retrieving the generated clientId is supported and what integration point would be affected. Done should mean a clear answer, with support or documentation added if the capability is absent.
