Google event tracking in Text Block

I use a text block element with text and an external link like so:
<a href="http://www.example.com/test.html">Site Name</a>.
I then switch to “Text” mode and add the google event tracking like so:
<a href="http://www.example.com/test.html" onclick=ga('send', 'event', 'News', 'Click', 'Test');>Site Name</a>.
Save and this works, verified in google analytics but the entire “onclick” disappears if you reload the page or switch to “Visual” mode. Any suggestions? How would this work with a button element? Thanks
Michael
