Prevent Click Event (s.tl) from firing when user clicks image and drags

Hi all, so i'm experiencing something, I want to track click on my anchor elements, however, we have a carousel and when a user clicks and swipes/drags to the next carousel item, a click(s.tl) is fired. how can i prevent it from firing when a user is dragging/sliding through the images and only capture/fire the click(s.tl) when the user clicks it vs. sliding through?

Edward, it's likely that your tracking implementation is mapped to the event that triggers in both cases (click and drag/slide). If you find a way how to differentiate these two event types and link the tracking to the click event, then it will allow to get the desired result.
