Dear Amos,
Thank you for your input.
The reason I had this requirement is to build a analytics app on top of Squid which will only show typed URL's so that the end user has the precise information w.r.t evaluating web access.
Currently, since everything gets logged into the access.log, there is no way to differentiate between typed/bookmark accessed URL's and URL's which are references for the main URL i.e CDN URL's for js, css etc.
Sorry if I am pressing here, but do you have any suggestions/alternate solutions for how I could achieve this ?

No it can't.

There is absolutely no way for Squid to identify what the user (if one
even exists) has done with their keyboard (or shortcuts, or bookmarks,
or search bar or...) that started the HTTP to happen.
You can log the "Referer" header contents, requests with no Referer
value are usually "first" requests. But that header is not always sent
or is sent when users change "page". So the accuracy is very low for
what you are asking to get out of it.
FWIW: "facebook.com" is a rarely visited page. Most of the users
search for it by company name and click the results, or use history
and bookmarks, even the emailed links FB sends out. All of which dump
them straight into the middle of some sub-section of the FB site.
