Magento How to link to category by id from static block/page

Question

I'm looking to link to a category from a static block using the category id. Any thoughts?

I've done the usual searches, but to no avail.

At the moment I can do something like <a href="{{store url="category-i-want.html"}}">, but this is hardly robust.

Use the category link widget inline link code:

{{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" anchor_text="Displayed Text" title="Title attribute text" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_block.phtml" id_path="category/22"}}

THanks Ben. Perfect and swift! – Alex Hadley Apr 25 '12 at 14:43
I have used this code it is working. When I cleared the cache in admin, the link loads different category products but the url shows correct for the first time. What is the cause of the issue? – alamelu Sep 19 '14 at 07:18
