Here is a code which I'm currently using to open a custom window on click of a button:
The problem is how to write the same code in angularJS controller so that I donot have to bind the angular part to id of anchor tag and then pass it in on click as this.id ? If I try to pass directly in onclick it throws error that it is not allowed(which is correct as it cannot).

What I have tried:

<a id="{{d.applicantDocumentId}}" href="#" onclick="openAttachment(this.id)"></a>

function openAttachment(id)
  {
       var w = window.innerWidth;
          var h = window.innerHeight;
          window.open('@Url.Action("DocumentViewer", "Profile")' + "?docId=" + id, '_blank', 'left=' + w / 5 + ',top=' + h / 5 + ',width=' + (w / 5) * 3 + ',height=' + (h / 4) * 3 + ',toolbar=1,resizable=1');

  }

$scope.openAttachment = function(id) {
           var w = window.innerWidth;
           var h = window.innerHeight;
           $window.open(' ~/Controller/Actionresult?docId='+id, '_blank', 'left=' + w / 5 + ',top=' + h / 5 + ',width=' + (w / 5) * 3 + ',height=' + (h / 4) * 3 + ',toolbar=1,resizable=1');
       }
