Magento 2.2 Configurable Product with Downloadable Option: Email doesn't include download links

I have a configurable product with a downloadable option. When I perform a test purchase of the downloadable product option, the confirmation email doesn't include a link to the download, but instead just shows which option was selected.
Does anyone know how I can setup Magento 2.2 to send out the necessary links? I'm learning more about the Magento platform, but there's still a lot I don't understand and I need some help getting pointed in the right direction.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm prepared to write a custom module if that's what it takes.
Going to answer my own question. I wrote a module, which can be found here (in case anyone else can benefit from it): https://github.com/crankycyclops/Crankycyclops_ConfigurableProduct

How to import osCommerce store into Magento 1.7.0.2

I spent quite a while trying to import an osCommerce store into Magento 1.7.0.2 and wanted to document it somewhere relevant.
The official migration tool seems like the best free option, but it was clearly never completed or properly tested (to be fair, it is marked as Beta).
It's still possible to get it to work, with a lot of tweaks. I was able to import categories, products, orders and customers using the method in my answer below:
Install the extension from http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/oscommerce-migration-tool.html, but then upgrade it with the most recent version (from 1.5 trunk) in SVN:
svn co http://svn.magentocommerce.com/source/branches/1.5-trunk/app/code/core/Mage/Oscommerce/ Oscommerce
You should then be able to run your import following these instructions:
Back up your database
Copy all your osCommerce product images into media/import (and make them writable by the webserver)
VERY IMPORTANT: Change the language for the admin interface to English (United States) - or no products will appear even after a succesful import. You can switch it back afterwards
Set up your import profile (from System > Import/Export > osCommerce)
Click on Run Profile on the left, and then the "Check Requirements" button
If you only have one store/website, the Website Code field will be "base".
Good luck!
I used Magmi to import products, categories and imagesto magento.
It works pretty well and is very quick.
Imported 6500 products in under 2 mins. If you do that with the official importer it takes hours.
I like the possibility to import via a sql query that defines the datamodel instead of working with csv files.
There are some strange effects if you have utf8 chars but if you are english only, you are fine.
In response to dearlbry, (I can't comment for lack of points, however..) I would like to point out as a helpful warning to anyone using this method, that it will send 'subscription success' email to customers as they import from OSCommerce. This can be extremely frustrating and cause a bit of a rift with customers if you're not careful. More info here: enter link description here

How To Create A Report in Magento

I am trying to create a report in Magento. I followed the tutorial from Alan Storm on getting things started in the admin panel http://alanstorm.com/magento_admin_controllers and I now have a grasp of how to get the controllers working in the admin panel.
I would like to take this to the next step and create reports. The reports that I am creating I think I just want them to work like the grid widgets that are used throughout the entire Magento admin panel.
However, I am hard pressed to find a good tutorial on how to create these. If someone could explain how these work or point me towards a tutorial that worked for them, I would be very grateful.
* UPDATE *
An SQL based approach, to consider:

Personally I've tried implementing Reports the "Magento" way and found its much easier and simpler to just use the Grid instead. However here are some of the bookmarks I have in regards to building out reports.

Hope these help, I have to admit the way the way you build reports in Magento is very screwy, at least to me the approach seems very backwards.
