Answering myself now, but it seems that the answer is actually yes. 
True, its, not really "next">"next">"next" procedure, but still good enough.
Did some testing today and created two gnucash test files "main" and 
"project". Entered few transactions into both.
Option that bugged me was "replay .log file" (there's not much info on 
it in Help or elsewhere).
It did not work, until I peeked into these log files (even with only 5 
transactions in the "project" file there was a good number of those). 
Most of them contained nothing but text looking very much like table 
headings. Only two contained more data.
Opened "main" file and replayed these two log files  - et voila! All the 
"project" transactions were in my "main" file. Which is exactly what I 
need. Even better, it looks like I should be able to do partial imports 
(see the end of my original mail).

If you developers know something that I am missing now, please let me know.
