YES - You can use the altimage setting.

Go to admin -> settings -> settings.controls.altimage, and turn it ON. Now, you can create a folder within your actual folders, and call it "_altimage". Here you can uploaded the LARGE size copies of your images. Keep in mind they need to have the SAME name as the original "intermediate" image in the parent folder. Also, remember to HIDE ths "_altimage" folder in the admin when you create it, so that it doesnt show up in the actual Image gallery menu.

When altimage is enabled, the functions DOWNLOAD and OPEN all target the sibling image in the "_altimage" folder.
