I have the opposite - I regularly enter exactly the same description for
consecutive dates in one invoice covering, usually, a week. I find it quite
useful when "Mileage" pops up just by typing M.
However, more useful is an automated way of creating these objects and I'm
working on that - by importing an XML file that contains the required data.
I'm not too familiar with the auto-fill code already in GnuCash but I think
this may be able to be used here. Patches are welcome!

Not currently.

Why should it be saved externally at all? If you want that kind of
functionality, it'd be best to not have to type anything and use the new XML
to create the invoice / bill for you.
