Description
A user is attempting to import data from a GA4 property into Matomo and expects outbound link events to map to Matomo’s Outlinks report. However, during the import process, Matomo reports that “the outlinks report doesn’t exist in GA4” and therefore no data is imported.
Outbound links do exist in GA4, but only as part of Enhanced Measurement, not as a standard report. Because the GA4 Importer currently checks only for standard reports, these events are not being detected or mapped.
The request is to add support for importing outbound link events from GA4 Enhanced Measurement and map them appropriately to Matomo’s Outlinks dimension. Or a method to do so.

Research direction
Start by locating the GA4 Importer logic that checks standard reports and compare it with how Enhanced Measurement events are represented. Trace outbound link events through the import process and verify that they appear in Matomo’s Outlinks dimension and report.
