Access element in event handler

I have a custom directive which is applied to some element:

<table my-directive="eventName">

As part of the directive I emit the event:

scope.$emit(attr.myDirective)

The problem is in the event handler I need to access the element to which my directive was applied:

$scope.$on('eventName', function() {
  $element???             
});

I know modifying elements is not an Angular-way but at the moment it is what I need.

Pass element as argument:- 

scope.$emit(attr.myDirective, $element);

And use it inside listener

$scope.$on('eventName', function(event, element) {
  //use element here           
});
