I hate these questions. Of course it is possible. You say that there is 
a way WITHIN gnucash to do this. You know that gnucash is open source. 
You are somebody willing to invoke processes from the command line. But 
what about the rest of your programming/software design background?  And 
what OS are you under, what tools?

In other words, I could surely manage to do this. BUT --- I am a retired 
pro, very senior systems analyst. I used to do things much harder than 
this for my living
