Why would you want to do this, vs using a button?

How would the user know they should tap on that word?

Is it possible to detect which word was tapped in a UILabel in Cocoa Touch? It seems like it should be a pretty easy thing to do, but I'm stuck.

Anybody ever try to do this?

I know you can measure a string and get the bounding box that contains it; likewise, looking at the UITextInput protocol it has exactly the right methods (closestPositionToPoint & firstRectForRange), but these are limited 3.2 and don't seem to apply to UILabel.
