How should I define linked documents when using includes?

[Daniel Schultz]

I'm trying my hand at reorganizing my books so that I have separate ledgers for each client, and finding that `document`s are not properly linking

I use fava with the plugin "fava.plugins.link_documents"

My file structure is something like this:

```

| - files

| | - Assets

| | | - MyClient

| | | | - 2022-01-01-invoice-1.pdf

| - ledgers

| | - myClient.beancount

| - ledger.beancount

```

In my `ledger.beancount` I have the documents setting set:

```

option "documents" "files"

```

In `myClient.beancount` I have a transaction:

```

2022-01-01 * "My Client" "client invoice"

  document: "files/Assets/MyClient/2022-01-01-invoice-1.pdf"

  Assets:MyClient            1234.00 USD

  Income:ClientServices -1234.00 USD

```

This setup triggers an error in the `Errors` tab of fava:

```

Document not found: 'files/Assets/MyClient/2022-01-01-invoice-1.pdf'

```

If I update the `document:` path to be relative (`../files/...`) the error goes away, but then clicking the file's link in fava's UX takes me to an error page saying:

```

Statement not found.

```

If I move the entire transaction to the base `ledger.beancount` everything works just fine (but I'd like to be able to organize my transactions)

Anybody have ideas what might be going on and how I might be able to resolve it?

Best,

  Dan

One way I solved this problem was that after the entering the transaction I dragged and dropped the file on the Payee Entry this creates the correct linking and creates the account structure in the documents section correctly.
