Doha was the destination of the journey
A passenger is required to have documentation to allow access to the destination country
B2B is nnot a thing, other than on sites like FT, so no reason for it to be listed

Just checking the visa requirements given from the Qatar site ( from I assume timatic ) it states for visa exemption for Qatar

Travelling from LHR-DOH-LHR is not a journey to a 3rd country and so the visa exemption does not apply
