You could just put the stock as a Memo in one of the relevant splits.

If you are entering transaction with two currencies GC will either ask, or make a guess, but I’ve never seen it do neither. What happens if you change the Dividend amount (as if you were entering this for the first time)? Does GC create new Trading or Imbalance splits? Does it alter the existing Trading splits?
