And in a round-about-way, with a link to a local web server, you can
have a page with each individual document linked therein.
I also saw something recently on HN that purports to be a bit.ly like
shortener but for multiple URLs. That might be of interest. (don't have
the link handy, sorry)

Hi Gord
Welcome to the wonderful world of GnuCash :--)
As far as I can see a transaction can only have a single file linked to it.
There is a good alternative. If you are prepared to file your documents
into individual directories (or just create links to your documents from
individual directories) you can use the "Linked Location" feature to
browse to those directories directly from the GnuCash transaction.
Here is an example - GnuCash 4.4 / Windows 10
Step 1 - CREATE - Attachment gnc_linked_location01.jpg
A. Highlight your transaction.
B. From the Transaction menu (or right click) and choose "Manage
Document Link..."
C. Click on the "Linked Location" button instead of the default "Linked
File".
D. Type in the name of the directory prefixed by "file://" - in my
example, "file://TXN001"
E. On Windows 10, the directory should be located under:
C:\Users\<Your_User_Name>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\data\
F. Click on OK
Step 2 - VIEW- Attachment gnc_linked_location02.jpg
A. Highlight your transaction.
B. From the Transaction menu (or right click) and choose "Open Linked
Document"
C. A new Windows Explorer instance should open showing all your
transaction documents in your transaction directory:
C:\Users\<Your_User_Name>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\data\TXN001
Step 3 - MAINTAIN- Attachment gnc_linked_location03.jpg
A. Highlight your transaction.
B. From the Transaction menu (or right click) and choose "Manage
Document Link..."
C. Note how it defaults to the "Linked File" option and shows the path
to your directory.
D. To change the linked directory, you have to go back to Step 1, as
GnuCash doesn't remember the Linked Location.
Other Locations - Attachment gnc_linked_location04.jpg
I should also mention that the Linked Location feature is not limited to
directories on your file system. It also supports the http protocol, so
if you have a web server on your local network, or use Drop Box or other
cloud storage providers, you can link your transactions to folders on
those services. See, for example:
https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/share-with-others
