iOS Hyperlink in UITextView

[titaniumdecoy]

Is it possible to place "links" in a UITextView? I want certain lines to be underlined, and when clicked, allow the application to respond appropriately (not by launching Safari). Thanks.

No, not in a textview. But you can change it to a UIWebView, and set up a custom url scheme for your app so that tapping on a link tells your app to do something...

The iPhone OS Programming guide used to talk about how to do this, although it looks like they've changed around some of the docco in the dev area.

in that case, is there a way to tell which word was clicked on?

make the url something different for each link.

like
yourapp://dothis?withthat
yourapp://dothat

etc.
