Is it possible to perform a Popover Segue manually (from dynamic UITableView cell)?

Question

I need to perform a Popover segue when user touches a cell in a dynamic TableView. But when I try to do this with this code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *

Just adding this answer as an alternative way to present a popover from a touched cell, though it uses code rather than a segue. It's pretty simple though and has worked for me from iOS 4 through iOS 7:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];

    //get the data of the row they clicked from the array
    Url* clickedRec = [self.resultsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    //hide the popover in case it was already opened from a previous touch.    
    if (self.addNewPopover.popoverVisible) {
            [self.addNewPopover dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
            return;
        }

    //instantiate a view controller from the storyboard
    AddUrlViewController *viewControllerForPopover =
    [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"addUrlPopup"];

    //set myself as the delegate so I can respond to the cancel and save touches.
    viewControllerForPopover.delegate=self;
    //Tell the view controller that this is a record edit, not an add        
    viewControllerForPopover.addOrEdit = @"Edit";
    //Pass the record data to the view controller so it can fill in the controls            
    viewControllerForPopover.existingUrlRecord = clickedRec;

    UIPopoverController *popController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
                                          initWithContentViewController:viewControllerForPopover];

    //keep a reference to the popover since I'm its delegate        
    self.addNewPopover = popController;

    //Get the cell that was clicked in the table. The popover's arrow will point to this cell since it was the one that was touched.
    UITableViewCell *clickedCell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    //present the popover from this cell's frame.
    [self.addNewPopover presentPopoverFromRect:clickedCell.frame inView:self.myTableView permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
