How to load report from external jar/war file

We have a web app running in Tomcat that has BIRT embedded, we also have a bunch of reports in the WAR file that we are using the ViewerServlet to view.

How can we load and run reports from outside the war file?

Can we set any parameter in the BIRT to look for reports
bundled in jar file in a specific location (e.g. temp directory) if the report is not found in the WAR file in which BIRT is running?

Can we configure the OSGi plugin manager to load an external plugin that contains the reports if we bundle the reports in an OSGi plugin jar?

Thanks for any pointers.
