Using iFrames in AngularJS

Question

Using Angular 1.2+, I'm trying to work out an "angular" way to load in an iFrame but I can't find any tutorials/any real discussion on this anywhere.

Basically, I have a search page which displays a list of links. Clicking a link should call a function in my controller which loads in data (possibly through the $http service?) to an iFrame while keeping the search results in view.

Here's some rudimentary code (I've never really used iFrames before so apologies if this is just totally wrong)

View

<div ng-controller="searchPage">
  <div ng-repeat='post in searchResults'>
    <a ng-click="itemDetail(post._infoLink)">Here's a link!</a>
  </div>
  <div class="detailView" ng-show="itemShown">
    <iframe ng-src="detailFrame"></iframe>
  </div>
</div>

Controller

$scope.itemDetail = function(link){
  $scope.itemShown = true;
  $scope.busy = true;
  $http.get(link).success(function(data){
    $scope.busy = false;
    $scope.detailFrame = data;
  });
}

This code currently gives the error:

 XMLHttpRequest cannot load <url>. Origin http://localhost:5000 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. 

Something simple along these lines would be ideal. In the (attempted) example above, the search results would stay on the screen and get pushed into a sidebar, while the iFrame loads in an external site (on a different domain) into the bulk of the page.

How can this be achieved with Angular?

Extra caveat: The links to load into the iFrame are affiliate links so they'll often have a 'middleman' domain between them, e.g. the clicked-link will be mydomain.com/cloakinglink which redirects to www.zanox.com/whatever which then leads to the final site, www.asos.com/whatever.

Really struggled on just using regular dom to st iframe.src. Grr... Angular bends the light toward it.

 .state('nav.iframer', {
            url: '/iframer',
            templateUrl: 'app/dashboard/iframer.html',
            controller: function($rootScope, $sce){


                    var f = window.frames.iframer;//
                    this.frameUrl= $sce.trustAsResourceUrl("http://www.google.com");


            },

            controllerAs: 'framed'
        })

template:

<iframe name="iframer" width="900" height="900" ng-src="{{framed.frameUrl}}"></iframe>
