if you want to be able to click links from the page and have it take you to other, locally downloaded files.

The save mechanism would have to be smart enough to follow every link on the page and 'see what's there' and download that as well, and then re-write that link to point at a (saved) file instead of the URL.

Which can get very complex because there could redirects and all kinds of other intermediary steps.

I think to be able to do this you need to copy the whole site basically.

Some of them might be smart enough to let you point at a particular page and grab everything needed to support that page, it's not impossible to do ... try some of the highly rec'd ones.
