Retrieve JCH CSS file from outside Joomla?

Question

JCH outputs the combined and compressed CSS file as:

/media/plg_jchoptimize/assets/gz/1/0/21258391ff538dceaca26d18cb55cb1b.css

Since this is a randomly generated link every time JCH refreshes the file, is there a way to retrieve the URL programmatically?

I am thinking something like this URL would allow me to reference the CSS file from outside the Joomla! environment (this is just for reference as I realize it would never work as written):

/index.php?option=plg_jchoptimize&view=css

The CSS reference is redirected to a PHP file:

/media/plg_jchoptimize/assets/jscss.php

The contents of that file are:

require_once dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . '/plugins/system/jch_optimize/bootstrap.php';

loadJchOptimizeClass('JchOptimizeOutput');

JchOptimizeOutput::getCombinedFile();

Good question. Looking at a different approach, you could use PHP to get all the CSS files in the given directory and then import them.

Something like so:

$dir = 'media/plg_jchoptimize/assets/gz/1/0/*.css';

foreach (glob($dir) as $css)
{
    echo "<link rel='stylesheet' href='$css'>\n";
}

This is of course assuming that the website that's outside of your Joomla environment is on the same server
