Log click event on html link using Amplitude SDK

I’m trying to log an event when a <a> link is clicked before navigating to the final destination, this is what I have so far:

<a href="/account" data-event-type="select_account">My account</a>

document.querySelectorAll('a[data-event-type]').forEach(link => 
  link.addEventListener('click', function onLoggableActionClicked(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();

    amplitude.getInstance().logEvent(link.getAttribute('data-event-type'));
                  
    window.location.href = link.href;
  })
)

The event fires perfectly but the event doesn’t get logged, maybe because the request is ended when the browser is redirected?

I tried using a callback but waiting for it makes the navigation impossible:

function onLoggableActionClicked(ev) {
  ev.preventDefault();

  amplitude.getInstance().logEvent(link.getAttribute('data-event-type'), null, function() { window.location.href = link.href });
})

How can I log events for outbound links?
