modifying sharepoint search results
Experts:
I have a BDC that crawls a bunch of emails that my users can then search on. The search results allow the users to a profile page for BDC where they can then download a copy of the email message. I'd like a copy of the "Click here to Download" message that appears on the profile page, on the actual search results to save my users that extra mouse click.
Can someone provide some guidance or a "how to" that will help me accomplish this please?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks JamieMcAllister.
I think I'm almost there. When I look at the download link URL, I'm getting this:
http://sharepointdev/_layouts/DownloadExternalData.aspx?
EntityNamespace=EmailBCS.B
EntityName=EmailMessage&Lo
StreamAccessorName=EmailMe
I need to create a managed property for the ItemID, but am not sure exactly how to do this? it doesn't seem as simple as your example. any ideas?

Can you confirm what version of SharePoint you're using?

I've a fair amount of experience adding Managed Properties in 2010 (as in I've done it on several installations). What specific issues are you having? Struggling to find the property?
There's some good links from this article;

Happy to answer any specific issues you're facing.

Hi JamieMcAllister:
I can't find the ItemId in my Managed Properties list, so I've gone ahead and created it. I'm not sure how now to map it ItemId. How do I know which crawled property to map it to?
Thanks,

in this specific example from msdn, (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff634782(v=office.14).aspx) they're doing exactly what I'm doing apart from my BLOB is an email stream. in the example, how would I get the "click here to download" link for the document in my search results? Is this possible?
Could you post what the markup behind the "Click here to Download" link actually looks like?
It may be you just need an item id that you have already. But I need to see to comment.
