Magento : How to get category page URL keys for different store views?

I'm trying to get the page URL Key for category pages for different store views. Basically I have 3 stores set up in my Magento installation. Now I want to implement hrefhang tags in my category pages. But I cannot access category URL keys of other store views when I'm in default store and vice versa.

I have category object which I get from,

$category = Mage::registry('current_category');

Any ideas?

You can perform like this (should be less costly when an environment emulation):

$currentStore = Mage::app()->getStore();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage::app()->getStore($yourAltStoreId));
$categoryLink = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($yourCategoryId)->getUrl();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($currentStore);

My Solution, works well

/**
 * @var $store_id  - The numeric ID of the store view to get the URL from.
 * @var $store_url - Base URL of the store
 */

 $store_url   = Mage::app()->getStore($store_id)
                ->getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_LINK);

 $objcategory = Mage::registry('current_category');
 $categoryId  = $objcategory->getId();
 $caturlkey   = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
                    ->setStoreId($store_id)->load($categoryId)->getUrlKey();

 $altUrl      = $store_url.$caturlkey;

It seems like the best way to get category URLs under a different store than the current one is to make use of Magento’s Mage_Core_Model_App_Emulation. Here’s an example of how you could do that:

/**
 * @var $categoryId - The numeric category ID you want to get the URL of.
 * @var $altStoreId - The numeric ID of the other store view to get the URL from.
 */
$env = Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation')->startEnvironmentEmulation($altStoreId);
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
$altUrl = $category->getUrl();
Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation')->stopEnvironmentEmulation($env);
