[GNC] Transaction Linked Document - acceptable Linked Location values

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry, I edited that reply several times, and I flubbed some references. 
Yes, I have opening balance transactions for both my house and car, 
entered many years after acquiring them, as of the date I entered them, 
and then linked a multi-page pdf to each transaction reflecting title 
and 'finance math' up to that date. Subsequent transactions and 
purchases had their own individual linked documents for just that 
particular transaction.

I see no need to create virtual accounts just for linking documents.

Regards,
Adrien
