opening reports with toggleitems set according to user defaults

i'm new to RS and have created reports with jump to url capability. the main
report has drill down capability up to 4 levels. i would like to know if it
is possible to open the report and have the toggleitems collapsed or expanded
(showing the next level if expanded) based on pre-defined choices. some
users might want drill-down expanded all the way to level 4 for some
groupings while only to level 2 on other groupings. for example, we create
financial reports that show monthly balances for staff salaries, fringe
costs, supplies, etc. a manager might want to see much detail on the staff
salaries and drill down another 2 levels to actually see staff names while
only want to see the highest level for fringe and not be concerned about how
much was paid for social security, retirement, etc..
rather than require the user each time to expand or collapse as they want
each time they run report, is there some way to save their choices to a table
and then through a query obtain their choices and set the toggleitem property
for each row based on its value.
i have found many examples of setting properties based on "value" property
but not other properties. i suspect that if it can be done, the "inscope"
function would be used. hope this makes sense!
any help you can give would be appreciated. thanksi think i found the answer to my question. RS doesn't appear to support
events and only exposes one reportitems property and that is "value". so i'm
guessing that what i'm asking is probably not possible within RS itself.
