Is there a way to search the link fields?

[joeshmoe57]

I didn't see any mention of links in the search documentation (basic or full reference)

Several things would be useful:

• presence of any link (or maybe a count of links?)
• presence of a specific link type
• (super useful but way more complicated:) filters on linked transaction fields (amount, category, accounts, etc.)
• using any of the above as a filter in the search: e.g. -link_type:refund to exclude all transactions that contain a link of type refund or link_date_before:2025-02-11 to find transactions that contain links before 2025-02-11 (sky's the limit)

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I found #6323 and didn't see this mentioned

• Export link data #8626 and Show linked transactions in search list #3852 were related but didn't seem to clarify enough

No this isn't possible yet, but these are good ideas. I'll put them on the list!
