In gnucash-editor that is part of jGnucash you can do this with
a few lines of Javascript in the HBCI-plugin (you can react to
imported transactions with scripts javascript now and >50 languages
in a few days). However there is no QIF-plugin yet.
If anyone wants such automation, feel free to write it. The scripting-part
including the script-editor is already factored out into it's own plugin,
so only the fetching and parsing of QIF-data would need to be written. ;)
