Answer

There are two changes you can make from the sample you have provided.

Change : 1 (in .html side) Pass event via the function : viewhtmlData()

  <a href="javascript:;" (click)="viewhtmlData()">{{ element.name }}</a>

to

 <a href="javascript:;" (click)="viewhtmlData(element)">{{ element.name }}</a>

Change 2:(in .ts side) Pass the element through the function

// This function will show entire table contents
  viewhtmlData() {
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',this.table);
  }

to

// The element data from  .html is passed through the function
  viewhtmlData($event) {
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',$event);
    this.selectedElement =$event;
    var Row = document.getElementById($event.position)  as HTMLTableCellElement;    
    this.selectedCellHtml = Row;
   
    console.log('Selected Row HtML data',this.selectedCellHtml);
    
  }
