I think you can use an anchor element reference instead of window.URL; because you can set the name of the file to download property of the element.

You can use this code to download files:

var blob = new Blob([data], { type: 'application/octet-stream' });
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
// set the name of the file
link.download = "createdocument.docx";
// clicking the anchor element will download the file
link.click();
