Hello @Glen Schultz 

this might not help you but just in case.
On dashboard there is Export to PDF UI action

and here you have these options:

But what I ended up doing is the following:

I created a scheduled report containing one of the reports from the dashboard. Type of the Scheduled Report is Embedded PNG.
In the "Included in Email" related links I added/created more Scheduled reports, all of it as Embedded PNG and added more reports from the dashboard.

Also I created an Email script which contains the sys_property (which I created) with the link to the dashboard and added this email script into the dashboard. You can set one of the embedded PNGs as a link to the dashboard.

Hope it helps a bit...
