It sounds like you're looking for Google Analytics "Event Tracking." Assuming you already have your regular GA code snippet set up (to track your site), you can then set up a handler (for clicks of the div, let's say) do to something like this with jQuery:

$('.trackerClass').click(function() {

  var selId = $(this).attr('id');

  _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Interactions', 'Click', selId]);

});

Every div that you wanted to track could have both "trackerClass" as the class, and a unique ID to help you identify it.

If you wanted to track opens/closes individually, you could add a state variable and pass that as well.
