That would beg the question then of how one goes about encoding date ranges in 
account hyperlinks. GnuCash creates the hyperlinks. The user just sets the 
option to do so.

Now, if this were a custom report that was programmed differently, I could see 
the point of the question, but since this is a default report included with 
GnuCash, I’m left a bit mystified as to how this is accomplished.

I too expected to see the relevant transactions that were used to generate the 
report, or at least be dropped into the account register at the opening date of 
the report for my further investigation. I certainly did not expect to simply 
see the account register opened to the latest date.

I guess the report needs some tweaking. I would think a filtered view of the 
account register showing only transactions in the report date range would be 
what one would expect when clicking that hyperlink.

If that is the intended behavior, then it is not working. If that is not the 
intended behavior, then I suppose an enhancement request is in order.

Regards,
Adrien
