Did you notice, how the switch from index.html to index.txt is done in 
the BlogExample. You just have toadd a format parameter to the URI:

<f:link.action arguments="{blog : blog}" format="txt" 
target="_blank">Show posts as plain text</f:link.action>

resulting in

http://localhost/dev/index.php?id=99&tx_blogexample_pi1[blog]=1&tx_blogexample_pi1[controller]=Post&tx_blogexample_pi1[format]=txt

Does that meet your needs?
