A:
The easiest way is to make the UILabel into a UIButton, style it (use Custom type to get rid of button look). Then connect to an Action that opens safari.
The action should do this:
NSURL *url = [[[ NSURL alloc ] initWithString: @"http://www.example.com" ] autorelease];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

If you want to keep it a UILabel, inherit a class from it, then use that in IB instead of UILabel and override the getTouches message to find out if they are clicking the link

Or you could put a transparent button over the text. If it's on top, it gets the touch.
