Two way. Calc already supports importing HTML document.

But whether an export filter is either "save as" or "export" is not up 
to individual filters. The filter framework automatically assigns one 
way or the other, depending on whether the particular file type has both 
import export capability, or just export.  In the former case, the file 
type becomes available in the "save as" dialog, whereas in the latter 
case, it becomes only available in the "export" dialog.

HTH,
