I'm not sure this is exactly what you want, but this is what I would do. Create a button and set it up with some target/action. Call that target/action method

presentPopover:(UIButton *)sender;

Then in the presentPopover method, say

UIViewController *customAdditionalViewController = [[MySpecialVC alloc] init];
//Configure the customAdditionalViewController
//Present the customAdditionalViewController in a Popover
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithViewController:customAdditionalViewController];
//Set popover configurations
[popover presentPopoverFromRect:sender.frame inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:/*whatever you want*/ animated:YES];

That is how I would handle your use case.
