Sorry, I edited that reply several times, and I flubbed some references.
Yes, I have opening balance transactions for both my house and car,
entered many years after acquiring them, as of the date I entered them,
and then linked a multi-page pdf to each transaction reflecting title
and 'finance math' up to that date. Subsequent transactions and
purchases had their own individual linked documents for just that
particular transaction.
I see no need to create virtual accounts just for linking documents.
Regards,
Adrien

You can link documents to individual transactions.
For example, I have a 'opening balance' transaction for my house. Linked
to that is a multi-page PDF of the title and all loan/payment documents
to that point. (since I didn't open the account until many years after
buying the car)
The same goes for my house and any other assets I track.
Investment transactions can have their own individual links. You don't
need to have fake accounts just for linking documents, unless, that is,
I'm misunderstanding what it is you are trying to accomplish.
