Analytics and Jetpack Carousel

I read that Jetpack doesn’t plan to support Analytics. However, I believe it is a major shortcoming to the value of the product and I do not have the skill set to build my own plugin to do this.

The website I built using Carousel is primarily photo-based. As it stands now, there is NO WAY to gauge the value of nodes that contain photos because there is no way to measure popularity of the individual components, which is all that matters on a site of this nature.

This is what the analytics look like within a carousel. So if I wanted to know answer a basic question such as: “which is the most popular painting on the site”, I would not be able to answer it.

Below is some sample analytics. (If you were to click on them, they would not lead you to a particular photo within the carousel. It leads you instead, to a 404.)
