What you're trying to do is certainly both sensible (IMO) and possible. XCode is however quite quirky when it comes to establishing connections to outlets in subviews.

I've found that cleaning, rebuilding and sometimes restarting XCode tends to help, but sometimes it just doesn't work. In some cases I got it working by manually creating the outlet and dragging from the outlet to the control rather than the other way.

This is not very helpful, I know, but I just wanted to make it clear that this is supposed to work and when it doesn't it is most certainly due to a bug in XCode.
