Thanks Tim!
That was very helpful. It ended up looking like this:
Win32Link lnk = new Win32Link();
lnk.setWebfile("files on " + request.getServerName(),
"http://localhost:8081/storage/files/Survey.doc";,
"http://localhost:8081/storage/files/";);
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
String contentDisposition = "inline; filename=" + "survey.lnk";
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
byte [] data = lnk.getBytes();
response.setContentLength(data.length);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(data);
out.close();
