There are a couple of ways to do this in UA:

  1. Auto link
  2. Link decorator

The first method automatically links based on the domains entered:

ga('require', 'linker');
ga('linker:autoLink', ['domain1.com','domain2.com']);

The second method is to manually decorate the links your links

// Loads the Linker plugin
ga('require', 'linker');

// Gets a reference to a link pointing to an external domain.
var destinationLink = document.getElementById('destination-link');

// Adds click handler that decorates `destinationLink`.
destinationLink.addEventListener('click', function() {
  ga('linker:decorate', destinationLink);
});

Both are described here.
