How can you prevent Adobe s.tl call on utag.link call?

[JerTippets]

I have a few actions on my site that i want to track in Audience Stream but not in Adobe Analytics. 

Is there a way to call utag.link with out it fireing off a s.tl call?

@JerTippets You can ignore tracking calls by calling return false; in a JavaScript Code extension scoped to the tag. Here is a previous solution to your question:

Hey @JerTippets, I'd also like to suggest triggering the Collect Tag directly using:

 utag.link({key:value},null,[Collect Tag ID])

 For example, my Collect Tag ID is "3" so I can use:

 utag.link({event_name:"button_click"},null,[3])

Or if you already have an object of data you can use:

 utag.link(object,null,[3])

You can read more about this advanced utag.link call here.

@dan_george, of course this is the answer. I knew this, but haven't used it in a while. Thanks for the great response!.
