My best blind guess (looking at the blocks and models in Mage_Downloadable) is using the product type instance. So, somewhere in your product templates, you may be able to do this:

// $_product is the current product
$links = $product->getTypeInstance(true)->getLinks();
if(count($links)) {
    foreach($links as $link) {
        print " $item->getLinkHash(),
            '_secure'   => true,
            '_nosid'    => true
        )) . "'>Download";
    }
}

If not, I hope that at least gets you on the right path.

Hope that helps. Thanks, Joe
