I don't think there's something that allows to do it strictly with the default syntax but it's pretty easy to write plugin that would do it. For example, you can use https://github.com/Evernight/beancount-lazy-plugins/blob/main/src/beancount_lazy_plugins/group_pad_transactions.py or https://github.com/Evernight/beancount-lazy-plugins/blob/main/src/beancount_lazy_plugins/balance_extended.py as a reference and adjust (or use LLM to generate) code to do what you need. Most of the statements in Beancount files can have custom metadata fields and you can take advantage of that if you need additional configuration.
