Mattia A reconciliation deals with all the splits to a specifc account for a specified date range from any transactions to any other account. There is not a single entity transaction or split to associate a document with. At present AFAIK there is no way of associating the external statement document to a reconciliation such that you could open the statement from that association from within GnuCash.
If this were to be done it would have to be a link in the account data structure and either a list of URIs to the documents, not just a single URI, or perhaps a URI to a directory in which the individual account statements are stored which would open a OS file open dialog. I store all my statements (and OFX downloads in their own directory) coded with their date range for a given account in a single directory. I rarely find myself having to go back to past reconciliations or OFX downloads, so personally this would not be a high priority for me. I would use it if available of course. The GnuCash data structures have a key-value pair feature that could allow attachemnt of a URI for reconciliation data to the account data structure fairly easily, however it is the coding to make this useful which takes the time. If you think that this is a useful addition you can raise a bug in the form of an enhancement request. It would then require one of the develpment team to take it up and implement it. Unless there is a high demand for the feature and availability of a developer with the requisite skills and understanding of the GnuCash code in that area, then it may take some time to reach the top of one of the developer's priorities.
