Perhaps the question is, what are the right place for storing and
linking that info?

https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/basics-entry1.html?
Parts are already in
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/basics-files1.html#basics-storage-comparison-table

OTOH as a technical detail it would belong into
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/

Awaiting your Pull Request ;-)
