You can now.  After the next pull, try a remember template like this.

This is only a dirty hack, I hope James TD Smith's
implementation will be better.  But it works.  If the
heading field in the template is `top' or `bottom', it is
now OK if the target file is not in Org-mode, and the text
in the remember buffer will be added to the file unchanged.

Try a template like this:

("ledger" 108 "" "~/org/ledger" bottom nil)
