Here is the code snippet I am currently working with:
<body ng-controller="testController">
<div test-directive transform="transform()">
</div>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="testDirective.html">
<div>
<p>
{{transform()}}
</p>
</div>
</script>
<script>
angular.module("Test", [])
.directive("testDirective", function() {
return {
templateUrl: "testDirective.html",
scope: {
transform: "&"
},
link: function(scope) {
}
};
})
.controller("testController", function($scope) {
$scope.transform = function() {
return "<a ng-click='somethingInController()'>Do Something</a>";
};
$scope.somethingInController = function() {
alert("Good!");
};
});
</script>
</body>
I have successfully created a directive with a method that can be called from the controller. The method manipulates values passed to it, although in this example it does not receive any values. However, my next goal is to create an element that will call a method in the controller without knowing what kind of element it will be or what method it will call. Is there any way to achieve this?

Version 2 is now functional, although I am unsure if this is the most efficient way to achieve the desired result. However, I am facing difficulties in executing the method in the parent controller.
