Get a scrap book and a glue stick and paste all your receipts into the
scrapbook.  Number the pages in your scrap book and enter the page number
of each receipt into its corresponding entry in GnuCash.  Months later,
when you are looking at a transaction in GnuCash and decide you want to
see the receipt, simply get the page number and find it in your scrap
book.  That's what I do and it works great.
