Is there a main way to find indexPath of cell, which contain selected label? (didSelectRowAtIndexPath: should not be called)
I can imagine many dirty hacks, but i looking for a main/good solution.
upd
I have reference to selected label.

Answer 1

Edit:
This is a better way.
- (IBAction)someMethod:(id)sender {
CGPoint hitPoint = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *hitIndex = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:hitPoint];
}

Answer 2

From your label, search for the cell object in the label's hierarchy:
-(UITableViewCell*) cellContainingView:(UIView*)view
{
UIView* currentView = view;
while (currentView)
{
if ([currentView isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]])
{
return (UITableViewCell*)currentView;
}
currentView = currentView.superview;
}
return nil;
}
Once you have the cell, call [tableView indexPathForCell:cell]
The use of this method instead of hard coding view.superview.superview makes your code stronger because it handle possible changes in cell's view hierarchy through system's versions.

You could go:
NSMutableArray *cells = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSInteger j = 0; j < [tableView numberOfSections]; ++j)
{
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:j]; ++i)
{
[cells addObject:[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:j]]];
}
}
for (UITableViewCell *cell in cells){
for (UILabel *label in cell.subviews){
if (label == yourLabel)
indexPath = [tableView indexPathForCell: cell];
}
}
