You should use the "typolink" function to create the link. Just pass it
the correct $conf:
- parameter: the page-id where to display the single news
- additionalParams: the parameters just like tt_news does it
- and: useCacheHash=TRUE so it will generate the corresponding cHash.

Note that you need to use the exact same parameters as tt_news, else the
cHash will differ.

Documentation for the typolink function:

Call it through a valid cObj.
