I'm facing the same problem.

My solution (or, better: "workaround") is to chart not only income vs
expenses over time, but also (in a separate chart) income vs
"expenses+mortgage", where "mortgage" is the amount of debt I pay off
every month for the house mortgage. Of course you can replace "chart"
with "balance" or whatever other query you're doing to obtain similar
results in a different context.

IIRC the proper way to go about that in terms of tool support would be
to tag the accounts that are "cash-ish" for you and that you want to see
in these kind of reports. For me those would be Income:* Expenses:* and
Liabilities:Mortgage:*. On top of that you can add some easy-to-activate
knob that will pre-select those accounts.

Cheers.
