Why not? As far I understood the question Conor is looking for
something that helps him to avoid errors when he had to insert
related transactions in two gnucash files.

There is no problem to open two instances of gnucash with two
different gnucash-files and switch between both to insert
transactions. So I don't see why it should be impossible to write
some GUI that can add transactions to two gnucash files and does
some checking, e.g. that their amount is the same.
