Answer 1

You can just $watch your value.storeObject. Though it's not best of the practices, but it suits this kind of feature.
$scope.$watch('value.storedObject', function(newVal) {
if(newVal !== '') {
refresh()
}
})
working fiddle (open console to see refresh function logging)

Answer 2

You can try to use angular default $emit, $broadcast, or try to do 2 simple functions in own service
angular.module('app').factory('StoreService', function() {
var listeners = {};
var emit = function(name, val) {
if(listeners[name]) {
listeners[name](val)
}
}
var on = function(name, callback) {
listeners[name] = callback;
}
return {
emit: emit,
on: on,
storedObject: ''
};
});
