I was thinking also how nice it would be to have a link to external 
data, such as images, for each line item.

I was thinking that perhaps adding an url field to use for external 
links would be useful. That would allow a relatively unlimited variety 
of files to be linked to each transaction/line item, etc.

Linking would be done manually or via a wizard which might be able to 
associate check image filenames with check transactions.

Unfortunately I have not done any programming beyond machine code and a 
few hacks here and there to C sources.

Adding a new field would probably best be left to those most familiar 
with the data structure, though. :(

I've started suggesting to Bank of America that they consider providing 
a downloadable statement with all check images included. Such a 
downloaded statement would be something very useful to link to transactions.
