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.

Best regards,
Vasily
