Description

I'm still not able to figure out the way to have a custom cellHeader for rowSelection cell. After spending few hours on searching, I figured out one way by using the $templateCache (please refer http://embed.plnkr.co/Ji7gLbfQTohnEj04mYFM/).

Is there any better or cleaner way to do the same?

Research direction
The issue is a user question about customizing the cell header for the rowSelection column in ui grid. The user found a workaround using $templateCache but seeks a cleaner built in API. No maintainer response or comments. Research should explore the ui grid documentation and source code, particularly the rowSelection feature and header template customization, to determine if an official API exists or needs to be documented.
