Using Angular UI-Grid, how do you access row entity data without using the row selection?

I am trying to switch from Smart-Table version 1.x to Angular ui-grid (version 3.0), the replacement for ng-grid.
I like nearly everything about ui-grid, but one thing is driving me crazy. In smart-table, there is a value for dataRow, which is a convenient way of referencing the entity within a table.

What I was using it for was populating an html template to include field information from the entity, something like ng-click="$parentScope.edit(dataRow.id)" within the html template placed within a grid cell.

However, in ui-grid, I can't seem to access the entity object without making a formal row or cell selection. Any effort to include it in a cell template results in an object, (row.entity) but I cannot access any of the entity elements, they show up as undefined. Any ideas?

Furthermore, I have been able to execute a method in an html template, but only ones with no parameters, not one trying to use a parameter from the entity itself.

Here is my html template that was working with smart-table:

<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="View    {{filteredRowCollection}}"   ng-click="$parent.$parent.$parent.$parent.view(dataRow.id)"
   class="glyphicon glyphicon-camera green">
</a>
<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Edit {{selectionId}}" ng-click="grid.appScope.edit(row.entity.id)"
   class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil blue">
</a>
<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Delete {{selectionId}}"  ng-click="$parent.$parent.$parent.$parent.delete(dataRow.id)"
   class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash red">
</a>

I was trying to use something like this with ui-grid:

function edit(row){
    . . .
};

row, at this point is an object, as is row.entity. I expected to be able to use something like row.entity.id, one of the fields, but it is undefined.

Basically, you need to set External scope for your grid, so that you can access data.
