I think it would be really cool to be able to do that.
One thing you can do now is put in a 'link' in a report
to open a dialog. For example, see the welcome-to-gnucash
report.

I don't think we have tried using in-report html controls,
but I think it should be possible. The current report infrastructure
doesn't handle that, so you would have some hacking to do.
