So Quicken Mac already has the "place" for the house value, it is a matter of downloading the current estimated value and applying it to the account register.

Okay, so I understand that for the Mac version I will need up update the value of my home manually according to Zillow or whatever measure I deem as the most accurate and that it needs to be added as an "Asset", but are there any guidelines on how to do this so that changes in value as I observe them can be recorded (along with a place for me to put notes) where I don't have to add extraneous transactions that affect cash in/outflows? I have not found a complete guide that gives best practices on for this, especially if my aim is to compare my estimated home value vs the amount owed on my mortgage since I don't see a way to link the two. Since payments of mortgage principle aren't transfers, I don't see a way to create this linkage.
Note I'm a Windows only person so I can't tell you exactly what Quicken Mac has for sure or how to do it, but I can venture some guesses.
Your mortgage loan account and your house account are completely separate. How much you owe on your house has no bearing on what its value is. As such they are separate accounts that don't directly affect each other and if you want to put in notes you should be able to do that in whatever transaction you want to add a note to.
In Quicken Windows there is a way to link the house account to the loan account. This really only done because there is "views" in Quicken Windows where they show them together. For instance there is a Property & Debit tab that has them. I don't think Quicken Mac has either the "views" or the "linking".
But in truth it is quite easy to get a picture of value vs loan, just use a report like net worth and include both accounts.
