I don't think it's possible, and there's no point for it either. Choosing Open means to download the file in the download folder set for the browser and open it when it is finished. So the file is still downloaded, 'save' just prompts the user to specify the destination folder.Practicaly anything that is shown on the screen can be stolen, any images or texts.
