I've found that usually when I'm attempting to do this in storyboard I'd rather not create extra classes. It still makes sense to perform the dismiss from the presenting view controller, so that requires a class to back it.

If you create an IBAction in the presenting view controller and name it appropriately e.g.

- (IBAction)dismissAnyModel:(id)sender
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Then from storyboard wherever you want to trigger the dismiss from you create an action to the first responder as shown below. You can extend this to work with multiple presenting view controllers by creating unique names for the IBActions.
