Sadly due to browser security restrictions (cross-origin policies to be precise) it is currently not possible to save WMTS tiles with the save tool and there does not appear to be a workaround here. The best you might be able to do is build a solution that saves the output server side using `hv.save` and then use a `FileDownload` button to trigger that and download it in the browser.
