IDL Does Not Generate Account Objects For Accounts Not Directly Used In An Instruction

[bonedaddy]

Overview

I have a program that uses some account which is never passed into the program via an instruction directly. For example I use it to track balance like so:

            let mut balance_account: ProgramAccount<VaultBalanceEntry> = anchor_lang::ProgramAccount::try_accounts_init(ctx.program_id, &mut &[ctx.accounts.user_balance_account.clone()][..])?;
            balance_account.owner = vault.pda;
            balance_account.amount = amount;
            balance_account.account_index = vault.account_index;
            balance_account.exit(ctx.program_id)?;

But within the test framework when printing out the available accounts in the IDL it does not show up:

  account: {
    vault: [AsyncFunction: accountsNamespace] {
      size: 186,
      createInstruction: [AsyncFunction],
      subscribe: [Function],
      unsubscribe: [Function],
      all: [AsyncFunction]
    }
  },
