It's hackish, but you can try using TTTAttributedLabel and attach a custom URL to the word/phrase within the label:

    TTTAttributedLabel *label;
    //after setting the label text:
    [label addLinkToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.stackoverflow.com"] withRange:[label.text rangeOfString:@"CLICKABLE TEXT HERE"]];

Then in the delegate method, you call your selected action:

#pragma mark - TTTAttributedLabelDelegate

- (void)attributedLabel:(TTTAttributedLabel *)label didSelectLinkWithURL:(NSURL *)url {
    // for handling the URL but we just call our action
    [self userHasClickedTextInLabel];
}
