You can give individual postings a different date from their parent

hledger-web is hledger's web interface. It starts a simple web appli-
cation for browsing and adding transactions, and optionally opens it in
a web browser window if possible. It provides a more user-friendly UI
than the hledger CLI or hledger-ui interface, showing more at once
(accounts, the current account register, balance charts) and allowing
history-aware data entry, interactive searching, and bookmarking.
