Is it possible to name a Cognos Report automatically while saving? (Cognos 10)

Question
When saving a Cognos report output as PDF or Excel or XML, is it possible to name the file automatically, using the entity name displayed by the report?

For example, a report can be executed to display information about a selected project. Is it possible to configure the report or configure Cognos so that users can directly save the output by just hitting the Enter key in the Save As dialog (which would ideally set the file name to be the project name), instead of typing the project name themselves?


Resolution
Unfortunately there is no way to use a report parameter to dynamically name a report as described.
