typically, you can add a property to the list page, then assign a component to that property and make your component understand how to download your file based on the context.
so, you're creating a custom component, and rules to add it onto the list and assign the component to a property in your list just so it has a column etc.

The problem I face is that I have several D2W list pages (user going from query to list for any entity) and I want to add a "Download as Excel" link/button/action/whatever to each one of them. The list pages are dynamically generated. How do I add my own display item to such a page? Of course I can freeze the page and then add the link manually but this de-couples me from the rule system as I cannot use Rule Modeler to further change the page(s) anymore. Any ideas?
