You may be able to add a flag or delegate method to OUIEditableFrame to specify whether it edits. If it isn't configured to edit, you could then return NO from -canBecomeFirstResponder ... not sure what other issues you might run into after this since we haven't needed this capability yet. My guess is that you'd not get the selection controls w/o further tweaking.

We do have some hit testing in OUITextLayout for things like tapping links, but not for selecting/highlighting.
