[GNC] Linked location

R,

Back to your original topic:

I'm curious, and not quite understanding.

Why not simply link a particular document to the relevant particular 
transaction?

Why do you find a need to link a location of multiple documents to that 
transaction instead? (links are not to entire accounts, only individual 
transactions)

I think of the feature as more of a 'photo/scan of a receipt' feature 
than any general document linkage.

There are much better document management systems for personal assets, 
specifically designed for that purpose.

The purpose (I gather) for the transaction attachment is to document the 
transaction, and only the transaction. (like a scanned copy of an 
invoice, or grocery receipt)

If you have a case where multiple documents are *all* associated with a 
transaction (say, invoice, bill of lading, original purchase order) and 
you want to link all of them, then a single-document multi-page PDF 
would suffice. (presuming you don't also need those documents to exist 
separately for use in an independent system!)

Regards,
Adrien
