Launching multiple drill-through reports to produce separate PDF files

I have a report that is basically a launching pad for two reports: a Customer Account Activity report, and Customer Balance report. The user wants to see these reports as separate PDF files, not simply page 1 and then page 2 on the same PDF output. I have created a simple list report that has three text items, each with associated drill-through definitions:

Activity
Balance
Both


When you click "Activity", it has a Drill-Through definition to launch the Account Activity report in a new window as a PDF.
When you click "Balance", it has a Drill-Through definition to launch the Account Balance report in a new window as a PDF.
When you click "Both", it has two Drill-Through definitions to launch the Account Activity report in a new window as a PDF, and the Account Balance report in a new window as a PDF.

I was hoping to be able to launch the windows simultaneously when I click "Both", to have the PDF files open and ready to print or save separately. Remember, the user does not want the two reports in the same PDF file. However, when I click "Both", there is a popup window which asks me to choose one of the two Drill-Through definitions associated with "Both".

Is there a way to have two drill-through definitions run sequentially? I think I would need a java script that would simulate clicking the "Account" link and then the "Balance" link. Is there such a java script available?

Thank you!
