Clone a DOM element with ng-click in AngularJS markup without scope function

Question

Is it possible to clone an DOM element in AngularJS when clicked on it without using a custom function defined in controller/scope?

Example:

<div>
  <div ng-click="create copy of this">some content</div>
</div>

becomes:

<div>
  <div ng-click="create copy of this">some content</div>
  <div ng-click="create copy of this">some content</div>
</div>

No. ng-click always calls functions in the scope. You could create a directive if you wanted to.

And Expressions like ng-click="variable=4", too.
