Making a single word in a UITextView bring up a UIAlertView

[Shake0615]

Is it possible to make a single word in a UITextView bring up a UIAlertView? For example, there's hyperlink within this textview and if you click on a certain word, it brings up this UIAlertView asking if you want to leave the app and visit the link.

How would you go about doing this?

Put a button with the text and a custom image and after that use an IB action to open the browser
