Yes this is possible. If it is not working then there is something else going on.

Just a thought, Google Analytics is usually about a day behind in reporting so when you make changes it will take some time before you know it is working. What I like to do is hit a page that does not get traffic very often to assure me that I have my tracking set up correctly.

Also, you might try making the link an absolute link in your tag. It might just be looking in the wrong place for the analytics code.
