I'd like to have my recent files at hand from my dock, preferably via a 'stack'.
I have already created a Smart Folder containing all my files that have been opened in the last 3 days and added it to the dock. However, I can not change the display mode: it is only there as a shortcut that opens a new Finder window.
Is there any way to change this behavior?

Instead of your specific recent documents search, you might also like this alternative:
This adds a recent items stacks to your Dock that has customizabile viewing options (grid/fan/list/automatic) like one is used to.
The right-click menu gives you the option to choose between recent applications/documents/servers and favorite volumes/items.
