Question - Resetting Interactive Reports on Different Pages

Question

Hi,
I currently have 5 pages, each with an Interactive Report. Page 1 contains column links with filters to the other 4 pages.
Once a user has clicked a column link with the relevant column filtered on the Interactive Report on the other page, the only way I can see for the user to reset each Interactive Report is to manually reset the report on each page.
Is there any way to perform the "RIR" or "CIR" clear cache setting on all the Interactive reports for a delimited list of pages via one button click?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Simon,
The scenario could be that the user clicks on 3 different column links on page 1 and the Interactive Reports on those linked pages are filtered. The user is happy with the information and decides that he/she wants to look for completely different data within the Interactive Report on page 2 (3 or4).
When they go to that page, it is still filtered based on the column link. To reset the report, they need to manually select Reset from IR menu. This would need to be done for each of the other pages with previously filtered reports.
The Reset I am looking to perform is almost like when each page is visited. It would be similar to performing a clear page cache on multiple pages and you pass the page number as a parameter from one button click using a PL/SQL block. i.e.
BEGIN
APEX_UTIL.CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE('1');
APEX_UTIL.CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE('2');
APEX_UTIL.CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE('3');
END
Ideally, if there was some way to do something similar for all or specific Interactive reports then it would reduce the number of clicks made by the user.
The application is to be aimed at users, who need to get information with as few clicks as possible.
