If you open a transaction up all the way with View>Double Line and Split views (either manually per-transaction with the Split button, automatically per-transaction with View>Autosplit, or for every transaction with View>Transaction Journal), you'll have Description and Notes on the transaction and Action and Memo on each split. Surely that's enough?
