Documents and Media file view link

Question

Is there a way to obtain an URL to open document in Documents and media portlet? Not to directly download it, but to open a document view. E.g. I have got a DLFileEntry object in my potrlet, after clicking a view href link, it opens a view of this entry in Documents and Media portlet. Thank you.

Creation of the URL to see my stored file from another portlet can be implemented like this. Leaving it here for further use.

    public Map<String, String> fileViewUrl(List<DLFileEntry> entries,
        HttpServletRequest request) {
    Map<String, String> urls = new HashMap<String, String>();

    for (DLFileEntry fileEntry : entries) {

        PortletURL myUrl = PortletURLFactoryUtil.create(request, "20",
                themeDisplay.getPlid(), PortletRequest.RENDER_PHASE);
        try {
            myUrl.setWindowState(WindowState.NORMAL);
        } catch (WindowStateException e2) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e2.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            myUrl.setPortletMode(PortletMode.VIEW);
        } catch (PortletModeException e2) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e2.printStackTrace();
        }

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.append(myUrl.toString());
        sb.append("&_20_struts_action=%2Fdocument_library%2Fview_file_entry&_20_fileEntryId=");
        sb.append(fileEntry.getFileEntryId());
        urls.put(fileEntry.getTitle(), sb.toString());
    }

    return urls;

}
