Is it possible to get template content in directive link function?

I want to reuse directive template. How could I get an access to it inside a link function?

I expect something like 

this.template

I'm not sure this is possible, but you can make the template a function. For example you can have a templateUrl that is a function and returns different templates. eg

templateUrl: function(element,attr){
   if (attr.type == 'select'){
       return 'views/select.html
   } else {
       return 'views/standard.html
   }
},

Its a basic example, but gets the idea across. What do you need the template in the link function for?

You must use template cache service. 

$templateCache.get('path/to/template/my.html')
