How to segue when a button is held in a TableView cell

Question

I have a pretty complex problem where the button already has a tap action as an @objc function. I likely have to implement code to the cellForRow function but how would it only call when these functions are at play?

@objc func longPress(gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
        if gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
            print("Long Press")
            //Was trying to figure out how to add segue call here 
        }
    }

    func addLongPressGesture(){
        let longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longPress(gesture:)))
        longPress.minimumPressDuration = 0.75
        self.expandButton.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)
    }

you could add a segue in your storyboard from the ViewController the table is in to the View you want to go to. Then give it an identifier and call func performSegue(withIdentifier identifier: String, sender: Any?)

@objc func longPress(gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
        if gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
            print("Long Press")
            performSegue(withIdentifier: String "showFromLongPress", sender: nil)
        }
    }

Here of course replace the identifier showFromLongPress with the identifier you specified in the storyboard.

That doesn't work because the cell doesn't contain that function, also you can't call it because it would try to perform the function of the ViewController itself – Douglas May 09 '20 at 23:53
Oh ok, so what about that: [Performing a segue from a button within a custom UITableViewCell](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26880526/performing-a-segue-from-a-button-within-a-custom-uitableviewcell) – Ix76 May 10 '20 at 10:28
