One might try to combine typed metadata with automated transactions:
= Liabilities:Apple Card
Assets:Apple Cash (-tag("cashback"))
Income:Credit Card Rewards (tag("cashback"))
2023-06-06 McDonalds
; cashback:: 0.02
Expenses:Food:Restaurants $23.98
Liabilities:Apple Card
$ ledger bal -f test_cashback.ledger
$0.48 Assets:Apple Cash
$23.98 Expenses:Food:Restaurants
$-0.48 Income:Credit Card Rewards
$-23.98 Liabilities:Apple Card
--------------------

I do not know off the bat how to apply a default 0.02 value if the tag
is not present, but that is probably possible.
