Yes it can, check "User Interaction Enabled" in the Attribute Inspector, and add an Action method with it. Make sure you connect the action method to the label

EDIT-

I am showing this in code as i cant post screenshots.

Create a Label @property(nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *myLabel;

Connect the Label in Storyboard.

Create a method, that you want to do when user Taps the label.

-(void)showHello{
    NSLog(@"Hello World");
}

Now declare a 

UITapGestureRecognizer *tap;

I used tapGesture as I want the action to run when I TAP the label.Declare this Gesture as an Instance Variable

in viewDidLoad alloc and init the gesture and add it to the Label

  - (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    self.myLabel.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(showHello)];
    [self.myLabel addGestureRecognizer:tap];  
}

Yup that should do it

You can add a UITapGestureRecognizer to the label to make it clickable. 

UITapGestureRecognizer* gesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tappedOnLabel:)];
[label setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[label addGestureRecognizer:gesture];


-(void)tappedOnLabel:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer
{
   // Perform your action
}
