Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant): I want to create custom transactions that the instrumented http transactions are linked to. Currently, the instrumented transactions are their own transactions.

I have a react application along with services in node.js and java. A button click in react will fire off several http requests to the node and java services in parallel. I would like to have a single transaction that ties it all together. One trace per click.
