If ZA_UnitTrusts is a Finance::Quote source it should appear in KMyMoney.

Are you asking if KMyMoney can do this? It does not have support for
such a mapping as far as I know. Why not add the "web page ID" in the
"trading symbol" field in KMyMoney. You can still recognize the
investment by name that way.
