It seems to me that the OP is running up against the fact that GnuCash has always been focused on Real, rather than Potential, transactions, since it follows a more strict accounting perspective. Users encounter this with Scheduled transactions; they encounter it with budgets; they encounter it with unrealized gains. Each of these arises in the lists with regularity.
Since OP mentioned that having a reasonable estimated exchange rate would suffice in their situation, BOTH of their asks could be addressed by setting the scheduled transactions to create far into the future. The transactions would then be real entries in the books, and all the usual reports could be used to determine future amounts. And yes, there are pitfalls with creating real transactions in the books that may not actually get created, but that's a tradeoff. David T.
