Question regarding documenting Reversing Transactions

[Adrien Monteleone]

Could an additional “jump” entry be placed in the context menu for reversed transactions? Instead of the current jump to the ledger on the other side of a split, this jump would hop to the transaction that has been reversed.

An additional UI helper might be to use the NUM or ACTION fields to indicate that this is a Reversing/Correcting transaction.
