Yes, it has been requested but it remains unimplemented. We did answer to the 
request. https://sourceforge.net/p/kmymoney2/feature-requests/276/ or 
https://sourceforge.net/p/kmymoney2/feature-requests/39/ or 
https://sourceforge.net/p/kmymoney2/feature-requests/212/  All those are 
somewhat related to what is asked by you. If it would be easy to implement, we 
would have done it already ;)

Regards

Thomas
