Doing this works without problems:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
   ...
   // create you cell
   UILabel *lbl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 50)];
   [lbl setText:@"example"];
   [lbl setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
   [cell.contentView addSubview:lbl];
   UITapGestureRecognizer *tap=[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self    action:@selector(tapAction:)];
   tap.tag = [NSIndexPath row];
   [tap setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
   [lbl addGestureRecognizer:tap];
   ... 
}

- (void)tapAction:(id)sender {
  switch(((UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender).view.tag) {
     case 0:
          // code
          break;
     case 1:
         // code
         break;
      ....
     }
}
