Opening a document from Document Set vs. using direct Link

Question

I have some documents stored in a document Set.

using IE, when clicking on the document, I get this dialog box:

same thing in Firefox:

when clicking on the document, I get this dialog box:

but when I copy the shortcut and use it directly in the browser, i get this dialog box:

What can I do in order to always open the document in a way similar to clicking on its name in the document set?

Answer 1

It turned out that when clicking a link in a document library, there is an onclick event in the

> <a href onclick="return
> DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','0','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff','','')">

This is what causes the document to open in edit mode rather than just download it.
