[TYPO3] File link (simple question?)

There have been no replies to this question. I'm sure it must be 
possible, but I still can't nut it out. Any takers please?

I'm trying to re-purpose a field in the si_bibtex extension to make it
appear as a link to an uploaded file.

I've got it working in the back end by adding this to extTables.php:

$GLOBALS['TCA']["tx_sibibtex_entries"]['columns']['institution']['config']['type'] 

= 'input';
$GLOBALS['TCA']["tx_sibibtex_entries"]['columns']['institution']['config']['wizards'] 

= array(
     'link' => Array(
        'type' => 'popup',
        'title' => 'Link',
        'icon' => 'link_popup.gif',
        'script' => 'browse_links.php?mode=wizard',
        'JSopenParams' =>
'height=300,width=500,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1'
        )
);

However on the page in the front end, it just appears as plain text, eg

fileadmin/user_upload/whitepaper.pdf

How do i get it to render as a link to the file, and with the link text
being just the filename, eg

[a href="fileadmin/user_upload/whitepaper.pdf"]whitepaper.pdf[/a]

I hope someone can help me.
