How do I extract the URL from the ShortcutURL in a SharePoint list item?

The Document Library does not provide a link to the actual item, and I want to extract that link using a workflow. 

The ShortcutURL field is the only one that appears to have the actual URL to the item. 

Unfortunately, it looks like this: 

{"__metadata":{"type":"SP.FieldUrlValue"},"Description":"https:\/\/www.hr.vt.edu\/_files\/file_hr_emp_handbook.pdf","Url":"https:\/\/www.hr.vt.edu\/_files\/file_hr_emp_handbook.pdf"}.Url

How can I extract the Description from the field info above? 

Thanks,

Vianne
