Hi,

Yes it is possible, just copy the web.external_layout from the web module, by searching id="external_layout", you can get the layout, paste it inside your custom module, do the changes you need and the new layout is ready.

Now to call this layout in reports, just use module_name.id_of_new_layout


Thanks

Hi if you need to change the current custom layout of the odoo. You can inherit the current external layout template in your custom module, replace the main div, and add the customization inside it 

example:

<odoo>
    <template id="inherit_external_layout"
inherit_id="web.external_layout">
        <xpath expr="//div"
               position="replace">

               

               // Add your custom codes here

            

       </xpath>

    </template>

</odoo>


Hope it helps
