Answer 1

It was possible in older version of UI-Bootstrap 0.10.0 .Even latest version,it works for me

index.html

modalDemoController.js

$scope.openModal=function(){
    $scope.modalInstance=$modal.open({
        templateUrl: 'myTestModal.tmpl.html',
        scope:$scope
    });
}

$scope.close=function(){
    $scope.modalInstance.dismiss();//$scope.modalInstance.close() also works I think
};

$scope.doSomething=function(){
    //any actions to take place
    console.log("Do Something");
}
