We did consider a javascript or iframe solution, but we ended up just generating static reports instead. One thing we tried, that did not work, was referencing static html/javascript files on the server.
In general, I do like your suggestion, and it's a nice workaround. The downside is that the user is presented with a link to download the HTML/javascript file, which will not contain the data they see and chances are the external calls would fail if they opened the file locally. The job report tab is also out of sight, tucked away at the pipeline/stage/job level. A user would have know to drill down to a specific stage/job to find the pipeline report. At minimum, there should be a stage level tab that can be customized and preferably there would be a pipeline level reporting mechanism.
