Cannot obtain download links for files in public shared folder

I'm afraid that's correct; there unfortunately isn't a way to do exactly what you want to do here.

Good luck.

Update: The Dropbox API now returns the shared link for the nested item as 'url' when requesting the metadata for that item using the "path" parameter on /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata (instead of the original parent link).
