SharePoint Search Results: Adding a link to the view properties page of a document

The out-of-the-box SharePoint search results web part doesn't provide a way to get to the View Properties page for items in a document library. The search results provide a direct link to the document which will open a document in default editor registered within windows.

In the screen shot below notice that both the hyperlinked title (shown in the tool tip) and the url displayed both link to the actual document and not to the View Details page.

The goal is to generate a hyperlink that will allow the user to navigate to the properties display form for documents.
