HandsOnTable editor custom function - angularjs

Question

I'm using the autocomplete editor of HOT, but needed to have my own template of the option-list. I've been able to accomplish that, by removing the default display and replacing it with my own while doing a lazy load of its content. But I need to perform specific tasks on each of the options being clicked.
The issue is that I cannot find a way to have my <a ng-click='doSomething()'> or <a onclick = 'doSomething()'> tags to find my "doSomething" function.
I've tried the extend prototype of the autocomplete instance, have put my function out there on my controller to no avail. Is there any way I can insert a delegate function inside this editor that could be triggered from inside my custom-made template? (Using angularjs, HOT version 0.34)

Dropdown options cannot interpret HTML instead of Headers.
To perform action when an option is selected you can use Handsontable callback : AfterChange or BeforeChange
Here you can find all HOT callbacks https://docs.handsontable.com/0.34.0/tutorial-using-callbacks.html
This JSFiddle can help you http://jsfiddle.net/fsvakoLa/
beforeChange: function(source, changes){
console.log(source, changes)
},
afterChange: function(source, changes){
console.log(source, changes);
if(!source) return;
if(source[0][1] == 0){//if ocurs on col 0
let newsource = optionsWBS[source[0][3]];
cols[1] = {
type : 'dropdown',
source: newsource,
strict: false
};
hot.updateSettings({columns: cols});
hot.render();
};
}

Thanks, I actually needed actions specific to each area being clicked. What I did to make it work was this: while inserting the items for the list, I created the element and bound it to the function right away: liElement = document.createElement('li') .... liElement.onclick = doSomething(){} .... got it working this way ..
