Save As button on Report

Can a button be added to the report to mimic the "Save As" functionality?

The company I'm working for has a policy of accessing the reports via a separately maintained web portal.
So the user can't see the Cognos back end at all.
There has been a request to be able to save the active report locally to a laptop.
Now obviously this can be done by just clicking (file – save as) but I've been asked to investigate whether a button can be added to the report.

I think there might be a way to just incluide a URL back to the report itself but set an option to save rather than open; but creating such a url isn't my strong suit.

Thanks.
