Menu
I have multiple elements with the same callback on ng-click:
<button ng-click="doSomething()"></button>
<button ng-click="doSomething()"></button>
<button ng-click="doSomething()"></button>
<button ng-click="doSomething()"></button>
// In controller:
$scope.doSomething = function() {
// How do I get a reference to the button that triggered the function?
};
How can I get the reference to the object which made the call to doSomething? (I need to remove an attr from it)

While you do the following, technically speaking:
<button ng-click="doSomething($event)"></button>
// In controller:
$scope.doSomething = function($event) {
//reference to the button that triggered the function:
$event.target
};
This is probably something you don't want to do as AngularJS philosophy is to focus on model manipulation and let AngularJS do the rendering (based on hints from the declarative UI). Manipulating DOM elements and attributes from a controller is a big no-no in AngularJS world.

The angular way is shown in the angular docs :)
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngReadonly
Here is the example they use:
<body>
Check me to make text readonly: <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checked"><br/>
<input type="text" ng-readonly="checked" value="I'm Angular"/>
</body>
Basically the angular way is to create a model object that will hold whether or not the input should be readonly and then set that model object accordingly. The beauty of angular is that most of the time you don't need to do any dom manipulation. You just have angular render the view they way your model is set (let angular do the dom manipulation for you and keep your code clean).
So basically in your case you would want to do something like below or check out this working example.
<button ng-click="isInput1ReadOnly = !isInput1ReadOnly">Click Me</button>
<input type="text" ng-readonly="isInput1ReadOnly" value="Angular Rules!"/>
