Post subject:  A "Smart folder" type implementation

I don't know if this would be doable but this would be very nice: Having a section where things could be gathered, but the balances not additionally added or duplicated. Let me explain...

For example, there is the Account Drawer. Let's say in it, there is a Checking account and a Savings account along with balances. Using the same principle, let's say I wanted to add something called "Design Income". So, either I could search or manually choose all the transactions that are design income, and have them show up under "Design Income", but without having that $ total added to the checkbook since the balance is already a part of the checkbook.

So to avoid having to add "design income" as an other account, we could have another drawer, where these things could be collected, or even better, after the user creates what they want, all transactions that match that will automatically be shown there. Like a Smart Folder in iTunes.

This way, in a nutshell, we can see what we have spent, earned, or whatever. "Computer Expenses", "Design Income" etc. It is in a way like using a search and filter, or report, but this way it sits there showing its status.
