Hello All,

Is there a way to query directives which are not transactions?
Currently I'm seeing this:

beancount> select * where type != "transaction"

(empty)

beancount> 



The problem I'm trying to solve is invoice generation: want to store 
client-specific metadata (e.g.: address) in the ledger somewhere; then 
query them and have the results be the various fields of the generated 
invoice.

An example might be:

2017-03-01      note    *Assets:Credits:CLIENT*      "Via Lungolago 13, 
CH-6900 Lugano"      #address

And an example query might be:

SELECT last(narration) FROM (type = "note") AND ("address" in tags) WHERE 
account = "*Assets:Credits:CLIENT*"
... assuming that a note's text field is referred to as "narration".

This would have the advantage of being able to declare new addresses if the 
client moves.
The #address tag is so that other notes may exist without breaking this 
query.



I'm not sure if this is the way this problem should be solved, maybe a 
different approach is best?

Thank you very much,

Sirio
