Storyboards with uitableview with either button or segue to detail view

Question

First of all I'm using storyboards. Currently this is an iPhone application, but in the future an iPad equivalent will also be made.

I have a UITableView containing 'People'. When clicked on them it goes to a detail page containing info on that person. That detail view consists of a UIImageView (Photo of that Person) UILabel,... AND a UITableView with 'Related' data.

That related data is: PhoneNumbers, e-mail addresses and companies for which that person works.

For the phone number and e-mail address I want a button on the cell. Pressing that button will either send the number to the phone application or the e-mail address to an e-mail form. Pressing a cell containing a company should segue to another view containing details about that company.

What is the best way to implement a button and a segue to make sure that the app doesn't "segue' to another screen when a phone number/e-mail is selected.

In your storyboard select the table and in Attribute inspector set content = dynamic prototypes, then set prototype cells = 1. Then drag and drop your button and other fields into your cell. Connect your button to your desired method to handle email/phone logic like how you'd do with any other button. For cell selection either create a segue in storyboard or do your logic in didSelectRowAtIndexPath method.

Note: to get the row number of pressed button you can do:

CGPoint buttonPosition = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:buttonPosition];

I hope it's clear.
