While I think I understand what feature you are asking for, I do see some
difficulties with it.
Bite Gao,
Jim mentions the import matcher, and I reiterate here to emphasize that GnuCash
provides most of what you're asking, but places it in the import process,
rather than in reconciliation. A user can match incoming entries to existing
ones. They can also set the reconcile flag to "C" for
