You do not need to code anything, using tag manager let's you skip the coding so you only have to add the container.

Link tracking was meant for external links, but you can set-it up to do some internal links as well.

What you are describing sounds more like "In-Page Analytics" or some sort of heat mapping which is available with other software like Crazy Egg or Clicktale or others.

you mean i do not need to code anything on website? Only above steps will track all click of my website? that is if some one clicks on category, then Tab button of description or navigation or drop down menu or any social media link right?

In the new Google Tag Manager:

1. Create a new tag under "Google Analytics"
2. Choose "Universal Analytics"
3. Choose "Click"
4. Choose either "All Clicks" or "Some Clicks" depending on if you want to track all pages on your site or only some pages
5. Name your event and choose the type (internal or external)
6. Create tag

Make sure there is a sufficient delay put on clicks, this will give time for the tag to fire before the next page is loaded. Once your tag container is put live on the site then it should automatically start tracking clicks.
