I dont know what do you exactly mean but hope it help you.
by this directive you can access the DOM element inside controller
this is sample that help you to focus element inside controller

.directive('scopeElement', function () {
    return {
        restrict:"A", // E-Element A-Attribute C-Class M-Comments
        replace: false,
        link: function($scope, elem, attrs) {
            $scope[attrs.scopeElement] = elem[0];
        }
    };
})

now, inside HTML

then, inside controller :

.controller('messageController', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
    $scope.txtMessage.focus();
}])
