Check the file located in: addons/account/static/src/xml/account_move_line_quickadd.xml

This file defines the view you are referring to.

The file: addons/account/static/src/js/account_move_line_quickadd.js

is the js file that sets the default values. If you take a look at the js file you will see that at some point the default_get method of the account_move_line model is called.

What you can do is either modify the js (by extending the widget of course) or you can go and override the default_get method of the account_move_line model and do your work there.
