The GnuCash data file is just an XML file.  It's normally compressed,
but there is a Preference you can set to keep it uncompressed.

As long as you're careful not to edit the file while GnuCash has it
open, it ought to be possible to write some code that would insert the
proper XML for an invoice right into the file.
