Yes, but, reports configurations must have unique names.
Keep it simple, don’t ask the user questions.
If the user selects Printable Invoice template, and there is a config that
exactly matches the name, then load it. If it does not exist, carry on.
Likewise with other reports. If the template is Fancy Invoice, look for a
config called Fancy Invoice. If it exists, load it; if it doesn't, carry on
without it.
Or am I missing a fundamental point?

Sure, but:
1) Users can rename reports, and
2) If you do have multiple instances of a saved report, are you
suggesting that the system ask the user which specific saved report
to use as the basis?
