Enable document upload for journal entries, too

I was shocked to learn that I couldn't upload a document (aka a receipt) to attach to a journal entry. Why is this different from an expense transaction? An expense transaction can be recorded as a journal entry, there's no difference from an accounting standpoint.

For example, an expense report is easiest to do as a journal entry (DR various expense accounts, CR employee payable account). Why not be able to upload a document (e.g. "attach receipt") to the JE just as with expense transactions? When looking at a JE later, having the source document(s) available (in my example, a PDF of the expense report with its multiple attached receipts) would greatly simplify review (or tax questions). This seems like fairly basic feature--why treat journal entries differently than expense transactions for the purpose of attachments?
