[GNC] Possible Suggestion: Give transactions a default 'Jump to' target account

I am considering proposing an enhancement to GnuCash to provide a default
'Jump to' target action. If there are only two split lines in the
transaction, it would be the transfer account.  In complex transactions
there would be a pop-up giving a list of the accounts in the transaction
and asking which account to 'Jump to'.  This action would be overridden by
the current 'Jump to' destination when the focus is in a split line.

The primary purpose of this proposal would be to define a 'Jump to'
destination that is invocable from the base fields of the transaction which
are often the only fields visible when the account register display is set
to 'Basic Ledger'.

Before I make the proposal, I would like comments on whether this is worth
pursuing.
