Angular 4 Container Element with Dynamic Content - AOT friendly

Since no one answered this question, here is a working solution albeit it not the ideal it does work perfectly. And is AOT compliant.

Template:

<div id="pagecontainer" [innerHtml]="htmlbody | safeHtmlPipe"></div>

The following code replaces all dom anchor hrefs inside the pagecontainer with a click callback:

// use service to get backend html
this.db.get('getpage', pageId)
.subscribe(res => {
    // load innerHtml with page markup
    this.htmlPage = res.data;
    // short pause (for template [innerHtml] = htmlbody)
    setTimeout(() => {
        // get all achors children of the page container
        let pc = document.body.querySelector("#pagecontainer");
        let x = pc.querySelectorAll('a');
        Array.from(x).forEach(el => {
            // get the href content
            let hr = el.getAttribute('href');
            if (hr != undefined) {
                // replace href with onclick event
                el.setAttribute('href', 'onclick=\"link()\"');
                // bind click listener
                el.addEventListener('click', e => {
                    // prevent browser precessing the anchor
                    e.preventDefault();
                    // callback with original href content
                    this.link(hr);                  
                });
            }
        });
        // scroll to the first h1
        pc.getElementsByTagName('h1')[0].scrollIntoView();
        this.g.showloading = false;
    }, 100);
});

link(href) {
  // call the topic on click handler with href to load the new page
}

And for the sake of completeness, the safeHtml pipe:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

// Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39794588/angular2-innerhtml-removes-styling

@Pipe({
  name: 'safeHtmlPipe'
})

export class safeHtmlPipe implements PipeTransform {

  constructor(private sanitizer:DomSanitizer){}

  transform(html) {         
    return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(html);
  }
}
