Link results to media file URL not attachment page

Currently I am displaying my results in a list format and want each item to link to its file URL, but it currently links to the file attachment page. I have spent a long time searching for solutions but nothing.

Here is the code I am working with in results.php:

<div class="results">
	<?php
	while ($query->have_posts())
	{
		$query->the_post();
		
		?>
					
			<div class="thumbs">
				
			 <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">• <?php the_title(); ?></a>
		
		<?php
	}
	?>
	</div>
	</div>

You need to be using the get_attachment_url, I think. See here:
