Why don't you just create a button and make it custom so there is no background or outline and then do this code:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com"]];

Yes. All you have to do is set the UIbutton to custom in ib and its label to whatever

good luck!

iOS does not support rich text (RTF) like MacOS does. The only UI object that supports clickable text links directly is UIWebView. That's an awfully heavy-weight solution to your problem however.

The other posters have the right idea. Overlay a button on your text, and have the buttons's action trigger an openURL call to launch Safari.
