How to pass the this value to ng-click and then in the clickToLink function make the click event on the nested tag a
$(this).find('a').trigger('click');

Answer 1

Why do you need this behavior? If you need to follow a link, you can do it through the $location service, for example.

Answer 2

clickToLink(social) is not what you need?
