When I want to download something in Safari, like http://foo.com/bar.zip, all I have to do is paste that link into the dowloads window. Is there a way to do this in Chrome?

I've gotten used to Safari, hitting cmd-alt-L (dowloads window), and then pasting. It's quick, neat, and saves me going to File>>Save As...

I like to keep my hands on the keyboard, so if there is a quick way to do this without using a mouse, that's my ideal solution.
