ng-click attribute on angularjs directive - angularjs

Question

I think it should be easy to use the well known angular attributes on a directive out of the box.
For example if the name of my directive is myDirective I would like to use it this way:
<div ng-controller="myController">
<my-directive ng-click="doSomething()"><my-directive>
</div>
instead of needing to define a custom click attribute (onClick) as in the example below
<div ng-controller="myController">
<my-directive on-click="doSomething()"><my-directive>
</div>
It seems that ng-click can work, but then you need to specify ng-controller on the directive tag too which I don't want. I want to define the controller on a surrounding div
Is it possible to use ng-click on a directive together with a controller defined on a parent html element?

Here is updated code. Maybe is this what you were looking for.
Html:
<div data-ng-app="myApp">
<div data-ng-controller="MyController">
<my-directive data-ng-click="myFirstFunction('Hallo')"></my-directive>
<my-directive data-ng-click="mySecondFunction('Hi')"></my-directive>
</div>
</div>
Angular:
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.directive('myDirective', function(){
return {
restrict: 'EA',
replace: true,
scope: {
eventHandler: '&ngClick'
},
template: '<div id="holder"><button data-ng-click="eventHandler()">Call own function</button></div>'
};
});
app.controller('MyController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.myFirstFunction = function(msg) {
alert(msg + '!!! first function call!');
};
$scope.mySecondFunction = function(msg) {
alert(msg + '!!! second function call!');
};
}]);
Edit
Check solution that I made in jsFiddler is that what you were looking for?
