[GNC] Change Linked Document Path

[David H]

Already answered by both Derek and David yesterday- see the posting from
the archive for details -
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-August/102652.html

Basically this is the default behaviour for a new install.  Either use the
file menu to create a new file or use File >> Open to navigate to and open
an existing gnucash data file.

Cheers David H.
