How to highlight a row in a UITableView

In a UITableView (with cells loaded a XIB file) I'm trying to detect which label is clicked in a table cell so can I can push different view controllers in. So if the user clicks the clientname label they will get the clientdetails viewcontroller or clientpostcode brings up a mapsviewcontroller.

The code I have to attach a uitapgesture to the labels works fine, but the didselecrowatindex does not get called and the row is not highlighted. I will like to highlight the row as well.

(in cellforrowatindexpath)

label.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture =
    [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self 
        action:@selector(labelTap)] autorelease];
[label addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];

I have check a lot of apple's examples where they put buttons on rows but even their examples don't highlight the row either.

So in summary can I work out which label is selected AND highlight the row?

thanks in advance, please ask for any clarification this was difficult to explain.

Detect the row of the label and use this tableView method to highlight it,

- (void)selectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
                    animated:(BOOL)animated 
              scrollPosition:(UITableViewScrollPosition)scrollPosition

Row detection:

To locate the point from gesture, You can use, 

- (CGPoint)locationInView:(UIView *)view

And then detect the row, 

- (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForRowAtPoint:(CGPoint)point
