Murugan has already answered Yes. Since you said you're new to GnuCash,
I'll just add that you can actually link that transaction to your
spreadsheet. Right-click on the transaction line and select "Manage
Document Link". Later, to open the spreadsheet, right-click the
transaction and select "Open Linked Document".

The link is purely one of opening a document. Changes you make in the
spreadsheet will not cause changes in the GnuCash transaction.
