Issue

Title and steps come from the upstream issue and pull request.

Description

Links go to the URL that was first inserted into url_rewrite, which now has redirect_type 301.

Steps to reproduce

1) Multistore setup
2) Add categories and products
3) Change the url key of a product and category for a store view
4) Add a catalog category link and category product link widget to a page, linked to the category/product in step (3)

Expected result

Links in the widget go to the correct url of the selected product/category.

Actual result

Links go to the URL that was first inserted into url_rewrite, which now has redirect_type 301.
