When reports are rendered in the Pentaho User Console, they are rendered via a Pentaho Plugin (Reporting Platform Plugin).

Like .xactions, reports (.prpts) can be accessed via a URL.   This URL can  be easily be created by right clicking on a report (.prpt) and selecting "Create Deep Link". Note:  This encodes the URL.

Launching the report within the Pentaho User Console

In the link below, "name" parameter allows you to assign a name to the tab that will display in the Pentaho User Console.
