Accessing action helpers from my models in zend

Can I access my action helpers from my models? What am avoiding is creating new models and calling the functions everytime I need some functionality.

Any tips?

Nice call @Daniel V - you can obviously bootsrap them for use in controllers, but models need to be directly instantiated

What about:

Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('helpername')->doStuff();

if helper not registered you can get as $helper = new Library_Helper_Helper();
