Thanks, Geert, for responding.

I think that implementing this anyway wouldn't be that simple. E.g.  
through automatic assignment of payments to bills via reconciliation  
(ticking of associated pairs in the A/P-account). This is true, because  
payments via e.g. bank account, where an A/P account is assigned as target  
do not appear into the reconciliation list, until they are marked as payed  
via the payment dialog (chicken-egg problem).

I'd assign such a feature as a feature request, but not after having an  
impression about possible realisation ideas through other people's  
opinions. Note that the import function is not relevant in this respect,  
since online-banking could also be a source of newly inserted records  
where bill payments are present.
