How to link items from a tabbar item to another viewcontroller

Question

I have a UITabbar and added additional UITab Bar Items. I then want to link (create a segue) to another view controller, but when I drag to create a segue, I do not get the popup menu letting me choose between 'push' and 'modal'.

How can I create a segue to another view controller?

You cannot trigger a segue using a tab bar item. – duci9y Jul 30 '14 at 17:00 — duci9y, Jul 30 '14 at 17:00

It is not possible to create a segue inside the Interface Builder using a UITab Bar Items, it has to be done using a UITabViewController (dragging directly from it).

A workaround could be to do it programmatically, listening when a item is selected inside the UITabbar and use the pushViewController:animated: method from the navigation controller to make the push, but not sure if this will work.
