How to add subviews to a UIButton via Storyboard?

Is it not possible to add a subview to a UIButton via Storyboard? This answer suggests it is possible in code, but how do you do it via Storyboard? Dragging a UIView to become a child of a UIButton isn't working.

Aware of simple workarounds like creating a parent UIView to hold the UIButton and subviews, but this question focuses on whether it's possible to add subviews to a UIButton inside of Storyboard.

You cannot add subviews to UIButton in Interface Builder, use UIView as container, then add UIButton and whatever you want to it. Note, eg. you can place a UILabel on top of the button and if you do not set userInteractionEnabled = YES for that label, your button will still response to touch events. Also refer to this answer.
