  nope I don't think it's possible, I asked the forum in the past but the answer was something like the data are stored in the web browser database and we cannot read from it
  Let me try to find the post!

  I don't know if this applies to your case

  Thank you mokalux, I'd say it's not exactly my case, but I have also found this post by hgy29
  http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/comment/64177/#Comment_64177
  where it appears we can read those (and I'd say I can save and load stuff from |D| in my html5 export)
  
  To open a save dialog inside a browser:
  application:openURL with download parameter (see https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp) might suffice, but I still need
  
  - to give it a valid path ("|D|myfile" is not something openUrl likes) and
  - some way to append the download parameter.
  
  the question is still open maybe it's something we still can't do.

  I don’t think you can pass a path to your file in openurl, but maybe reading the data from lua and turning it into a blob url would work
