Web Page (Chrome): Configure file download behaviour (prompt/auto save/auto open)

Currently, when a file download is initiated within a Web Page (Chrome) connection, the user is prompted for the location to save the file.
Being able to configure this behavior on a per file extension / type basis, as it is possible in most web browsers, would be beneficial:
Prompt for location to save
Automatically save to specified location
Automatically open with default associated application or specifiable application
Ideally the plug-in Web Page (Chrome) should have default configuration that can be overridden on folder and connection levels.
Concrete use case:
I use a Web Page (Chrome) connection to connect to the ProxmoxVE web UI. When connecting to a VM via SPICE console, the web UI initiates the download of a dynamically generated virt-viewer configuration file with the extension ".vv" containing the connection information and an ephemeral authentication token. This file should be opened with virt-viewer and deleted afterwards (this is done automatically by virt-viewer).
