How to handle events?

Many trackers transmit events, e.g. https://de.ioam.de/tx.io (request):

We currently only have very limited ways to express such events in our data schema, mostly just through the viewedPage property. But that is of course only one possible event. Also, extracting such information from typical event representations is quite tedious.

How do we want to handle this? I doubt we'll be able to handle all possible event types, but what is the middleground we want to go for?
