I think I've just achieved this.

Go to the appropriate account ledger.  Enter into the search box, the
category you want and you should now see them listed.  Select several
or all and they seem to be editable.  Enter a distinctive memo, and I
think you'll need to enter the category in order to get the Enter
button.  Now click Enter and, as a check, into the search box enter the
distinctive memo, and you should see a list of the ones you edited.
