It could be useful to rethink some fine tuning in the invoice dialog. When I'm now starting to work a bit more with it I find it could be improved in some points. Two simple things I mentioned in the bug reports above. Another one could be to

* Have information if this invoice has been paid
* Have a possibility=a link to open the ledger with the
** payment
** and also with the associated transaction

I wonder if such improvements shouldn't be collected and thought about maybe together with the related other dialogs to get improvements for the general invoice workflow. I guess a lot of other users have a lot of ideas for extra buttons. So I suggest to have a look at a bigger picture than just simple elements like a button. Because the problem may arise that there are a lot of nice buttons but the relations get a little lost.

Have information if this invoice has been paid

This uses an unused label in the Invoice Information box to display PAID or UNPAID as appropriate.

I can do a PR if required but the code change is very small.
