I don't see anything specific to linked documents in PieCash. I see that the IU menu item "Manage Document Link...." calls "gnc_plugin_page_invoice_cmd_link" in gnucash/gnome/gnc-plugin-page-invoice.c
This is here: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/bbb4113a5a996dcd7bb3494e0be900b275b49a4f/gnucash/gnome/gnc-plugin-page-invoice.c#L1342-L1396 On line 1389, there is a call to "gncInvoiceSetDocLink". This function is in libgnucash/engine/gncInvoice.c Here: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/ce2b89fd8cae4c5c78ba6925e78d18fca6a3df6a/libgnucash/engine/gncInvoice.c#L550-L580 And this specifically is where the DocLink is set: { GValue v = G_VALUE_INIT; g_value_init (&v, G_TYPE_STRING); g_value_set_string (&v, doclink); qof_instance_set_kvp (QOF_INSTANCE (invoice), &v, 1, GNC_INVOICE_DOCLINK); invoice->doclink = g_strdup (doclink); g_value_unset (&v); } I don't see this "gncInvoiceSetDocLink" function in the Python bindings, however (or the search function I'm using is not working). Also, I don't see anything in the log that gnucash creates related to the row in the "slots" table that represents the DocLink. I'm going to experiment with just adding that row to the database myself directly. Using bills as the example (but I can do the same for other objects): 1. Import the bills from my CSV. 2. Query the database in the "invoices" table using the ID field from my CSV for the matching row. 3. Query the "guid" for the ID from #2. 4. Create a new row in the "slots" table using the "guid" from #3 and name="assoc_uri", "slot_type"=4, "int64_val"=0, and "string_val" set to the relative path to the document. The rest of the fields in that row look basically unused, so I'll set them to whatever is in the previous linked document rows. If you can identify something that I'm missing, please let me know. Especially "OMG, you're forgetting X and will blow up Y if you try this."
