Yes, you can use journal entries to earmark funds for certain purposes using classes. When creating journal entries, you can select a class under the Class column given that the feature is enabled from the Accounts and Settings.
You may seek help from your accountant is doing the process to account for your transactions accordingly. If there are downloaded transactions from the Banking page, you may exclude them since classifying them as a transfer and recording journal entries may cause duplicates.

This seemed like it might be a bit convoluted, but I figured it would eliminate the problems mentioned with downloaded transactions
