Maybe another window could handle this. Some sort of customised account
register with transactions for a period for all the accounts in that
catagory. A right click menu option could bring up this register for
the selected category. Come to think of it this might go hand in hand
with the suggestion for a planned/actual view of the budgeting
information. If you see that you were over budget in a certain category
for a period you could bring up this window to see the transactions
which contributed to that situation.
Question is, is this something that should be done by the workbench or
in a report somewhere? Maybe both?

I actually used glade and built them into the gnucash application.
Doing the prototype served two purposes. Refine/Test my ideas and learn
a bit about the design of the current code base.
Cheers,
