Angular: ng-bind-html filters out ng-click?

Ok, so the issue is that it isn’t compiling the html you include (angular isn’t parsing it to find directives and whatnot). Can’t think of a way to make it to compile from within the controller, but you could create a directive that includes the content, and compiles it.

So you would change

<p ng-bind-html="name"></p>

to

<p compile="name"></p>

And then for the js:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngSanitize']);
angular.module('myApp')
.directive('compile', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
  return function(scope, element, attrs) {
    scope.$watch(
      function(scope) {
        return scope.$eval(attrs.compile);
      },
      function(value) {
        element.html(value);
        $compile(element.contents())(scope);
      }
   )};
  }]).controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
    var str="hello http://www.cnn.com";
    var urlRegEx = /((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[\-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+|(?:www\.|[\-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/\.\w\-]*)?\??(?:[\-\+=&;%@\.\w]*)#?(?:[\.\!\/\\\w]*))?)/g;
    result = str.replace(urlRegEx, "<a ng-click=\"GotoLink('$1',\'_system\')\">$1</a>");
    $scope.GotoLink = function() { alert(); }
    $scope.name = result;
});

Angular 1.2.12: http://jsfiddle.net/7k8xJ/4/

Angular 1.4.3: http://jsfiddle.net/5g6z58yy/ (same code as before, but some people were saying it doesn’t work on 1.4.*)
