It sounds like these text segments are close enough to links to probably get the behavior you want
If you implement attributedText on the text field and then set the attribute range like
[text addAttribute:@(UIAccessibilityTraitLink) value:@YES forRange:..]
then the text field should expose the links rotor.
You can see this in action in Settings > Privacy > Location services.. There’s a link in a block of text that can be accessed that way

They simply are views that get inserted into the other view hierarchy and can be swiped to, and swiped out of into surrounding elements. What's the best way to make these accessible?

There is specially marked text which a sighted non-VoiceOver user can just double-tap and get a said popover with more properties to edit. I've tried to navigate to this text with the VoiceOver rotor commands (this works), but triple-tapping the screen to simulate a non-VoiceOver double-tap does not work. Only a double-tap is recognized, so VoiceOver just again focuses the text field, which already has focus anyway.

What could be done to make this accessible so VoiceOver users can either triple-tap correctly, or have some other means of accessing the info behind these special text sections?
