When you use the lua-script, gimp.lua to do the export, the result is imported back in and grouped with the original file.
You could also use the retouch module in darktable which includes a healing tool. I used to go to GIMP for all my retouching, but now I seldom use it because I can accomplish what I need in darktable.
