Why you are not using UIButton instead of a UILabel? On press of a button you can directly open that link in browser. — Manthan, Feb 20 '14 at 07:59

Use UITextView instead of UILabel if you click on it ,it will call delegate method ,check below code :

    UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
    textView.frame = CGRectMake(10,200, 300, 30);
    textView.scrollEnabled = NO;
    textView.text=@" This is testing url here HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM";
    textView.editable = NO;
    textView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;

    textView.delegate = self;
    [self.view addSubview:textView];

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldInteractWithURL:(NSURL *)URL inRange:(NSRange)characterRange NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0)
{
    return YES;
}

Note: it support only >= IOS 7.

may it will help you.

happy coding...:)

Try the control FancyLabel. It's exactly what you need.

If you get stuck with it, you can try OHAttributedLabel - that's much more simple.

Use UIWebView and set it's dataDetectorTypes property or use a button and on click event try using below code,

-(IBAction)openLink:(UIButton *)sender
{
  NSString*myurl=sender.titleLabel.text;
  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:myurl];
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
}
