Is there any way to get access to a RESTful named route helper from a  
migration.

I’d like to place URLs generated from these routes into a DB table and  
wanted to manage the static data by using a migration. So I’d like to  
be able to get at the URL generated by something like “posts\_url”, for  
example.

Is this doable? Is there some way that I can either include an  
appropriate module in my migration class or directory interrogate the  
Routing class to get this URL?

Thanks,  
Wes
