(recap for those not on the user list) this started with a suggestion to
"add the ability to attach arbitrary files to transactions" with 
"automatic cross-referencing".

Later there was another idea to have gnucash call out to an external 
program to scan checks using a scanner.

Then another idea was to add a field to hold an url to link or reference 
an external file.

Followups to date expanded a bit on the ideas and commented on 
accounting policy and IRS rules on document copies.

Perhaps start with adding a field to use for external file url's or links?

Would probably be easier and faster to set up and it seems it would fit 
into the calling external apps/callback model.

Personally, I would be more than happy just to be able to link or 
reference an external file to a transaction.
