Scope $on listen for all events

[steelsojka]

I'm looking for a way to listen for all events being emitted through the scope hierarchy. My goal is to emit events upward and bounce them back down from a controller to "self contain" components. Basically if something doesn't intercept the event and stop propagation it will make it up to my app controller and then get relayed back down globally. I can't emit down from the $rootScope since the components could be self contained and the events can't be global in that sense. I was thinking of maybe a wildcard event or something of that nature.

$scope.$on("*", function() {
  $scope.$broadcast("myRecievedEvent"); // Some other logic here
});

There might be a better way to do this, but it might useful to have this functionality? If anybody has any ideas please share!

For now I'm just making a service that will replicate the way scopes handle events but mixin the functionality I'm looking for.

After testing this in a service implementation its causing an endless loop since the scope would broadcast and trigger listeners on itself there for retriggering the broadcast and making an endless loop. This would probably would be to big of a change to implement. I will just use my service implementation.
