I'd shy away from editing the old transaction as it discards the timeline
and doesn't reflect reality. You have transactions on your CC that your
accounts don't correctly reflect! In this instance it was only a few days,
but sometimes these things take weeks, or months, for the cycle to be
completed. It's a slippery slope.
I thought what you did looks great, excepting that for the final/4th
entry. My solution would be to book the second transaction directly
against expenses, and forgo the 4th entry but, if I have your problem
understood, you want a report on reimbursements. Your mileage may vary
but, rather than creating a special account and virtual transactions, I
start tagging things like that, and run reports against the tags. eg:
2019-04-16 * "Insurance" "Medical Expense reimbursement for Root Canal"
*#reimbursment
#<insurer-name>*
*Expenses:Medical:Dental* 1000.00 CAD
Assets:Chequing
