Yes there is...  While reading, you can do an Alt-X and one of the
options is to close your rep packets.  As I recall, the reason for it
was exactly what you are wanting... to leave the reader open, but shell
out to get online to upload stuff in the meantime.  It's the 3rd choice.
Once you've closed the rep, you can do the Alt-D to shell out to do
whatever you needed to do...  :)   It was new in 2.20.

It appears to be an override for the usual configuration that you would
set in the preferences... :)
