I totally missed this was a possibility and it is indeed really cool.
I randomly checked the BQL documentation (which is what I used to learn
about the query syntax at the time) and there is no mention of "SELECT
location" which, OTOH, is well documented in "help select" in the BQL
shell. Quoting from it for others who might have missed it to:
'location': The filename:lineno where the posting was parsed from or
created. If you select this column as the first column, because it
renders like errors, Emacs is able to pick those up and you can
navigate between an arbitrary list of transactions with next-error
and previous-error. Type: str.
It might indeed deserve some mention in the main BQL documentation, as a
relevant use case.

Just as a random feedback: some banks here in France give out
chequebooks where check numbers are randomized (within the chequebook).
So any strict check on sequentially should allow some sort of override.
