Hi,

another way (that I'm doing) is to link the interest/dividens to the security by a 0 amount transaction on the security, that way I can easily query them.


e.g.


2014-07-15 * "Dividend"
  Assets:Broker:FooStock           0 FooStock

  Assets:Broker:Liquidity               100 CHF

  Income:Interest                          -100 CHF


and then I can fetch out the interest for FooStock by a query like


1. select
2. sum(number) as amount
3. from
4. has_account("Assets:Broker:FooStock")
5. where
6. account="Income:Interest"

Regards,

Patrick

Why do you think it is over the top? Wouldn't that be the cleanest way to categorize the income?
The accounts are free.
In any case, this is a recommendation from GnuCash docs which I've been following and found it quite easy to track income per each security, and also to compare to the same security held at another broker.

    Similarly, income like interest/dividends isn't explicitly
    attributed to a security -- unless you go out of your way to make
    separate income accounts for each security, which feels a bit
    over-the-top.
