How can I make a clickable link in an NSAttributedString?

by

Use NSMutableAttributedString. 

NSMutableAttributedString * str = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Google"];
[str addAttribute: NSLinkAttributeName value: @"http://www.google.com" range: NSMakeRange(0, str.length)];
yourTextView.attributedText = str;

Edit:

This is not directly about the question but just to clarify, UITextField and UILabel does not support opening URLs. If you want to use UILabel with links you can check TTTAttributedLabel.

Also you should set dataDetectorTypes value of your UITextView to UIDataDetectorTypeLink or UIDataDetectorTypeAll to open URLs when clicked. Or you can use delegate method as suggested in the comments.
