@dhruvkb, @zackkrida, I wanted to confirm that although the description in the RFC only talks about selecting the external source from the dropdown at the bottom of the search results, we also want to track the clicks on the External source buttons on the "NoResults" page, too: https://openverse.org/search/?q=querywithnoresults.
