[GNC] Associate a file with the selected transaction.

[Glenn Fowler]

Hi,
Yet another way that I use is to create a duplicate transaction but no amount tied to it. You then add another attachment to that new transaction.
For the description name use whatever works for you. Examples:

Walmart
Walmart
Walmart

Walmart-1
Walmart-2
Walmart-3

Walmart
Walmart-attachment2
Walmart-attachment3

You get the idea
