Seems pretty simple, but I can't get $event to bubble up from my directive. When test gets called from cb-click, $event is undefined, but outside of a directive (via html), it's the event object.

If I use a linking function (not included in my fiddle), I can get $event, but I can't $parse/$eval it against the right scope.

<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="x">
    <!-- via directive -->
    <checkbox cb-model="y" cb-click="test($event, b)"></checkbox>
    <!-- via html -->
    <div><input id="c2" type="checkbox" ng-model="x" ng-click="test($event, 'a')"> <label for="c2">{{x}}</label></div> 
</div>

var app = angular.module('app', []);

app.directive('checkbox', function ($parse) {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        replace: true,
        scope: {
            cbModel: '=',
            cbClick: '&'
        },
        template: '<div><input id="c1" type="checkbox" ng-model="cbModel" ng-click="cbClick($event, \'a\')"> <label for="c1">{{cbModel}}</label></div>'
    };
});

app.controller('x', function x($scope) {
    $scope.x = true;
    $scope.y = true;
    $scope.test = function (ev, b) {
        console.log('test called, ev is', ev, 'b is', b);
        return 'xyz';
    }
});
