Answer 1

By adding UITapGestureRecognizer to the label, to make UIlabel clickable.

Before adding the label to tapgesture, don't forgot to enable userinteraction for UIlabel

Here is the sample code:

//Tap Gesture
UITapGestureRecognizer* gesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(userTapped:)];
//Adding userinteraction for label
[labelName setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
//Adding label to tap gesture
[labelName addGestureRecognizer:gesture];

Sounds similar to what they accomplished in Twitteriffic with Fancy UILabels. Basically, Craig Hockenberry made his own custom "data detector", so that he could insert links within labels and multi-line text. See this question: Is there a way to create custom UIDataDetectorTypes?
