Portfolio item links

So i used this code:

1	[portfolio projects="10" filters="Specialties" show_title="no" columns="4"]

to put some portfolio items on a page i created.
I want to make the link go directly to the Project Link rather than the portfolio-item page. I tried to update the page-portfolio-col4.php page where it has this:

1	$link = '<a href="'. get_permalink(), 'minti_portfolio-link', true ) .'" title="'. get_the_title() .'" rel="nofollow">';</a>

But no matter what i do to that line it doesnt change anything.

Could you please help em out here?
Thanks
