IPhone : How to pass a reference to UIView instance

I have a set of "controls" in a UIView that are displayed inside a UITableViewCell - this includes a UILabel, and some UIButtons. When a UITableViewCell is pressed, I'm displaying a new view from a different UIViewController. I want this view to include the "controls" from the UITableViewCell with the buttons/label in the exact same state as before.

What's the correct way to do this? Should I create a model that stores the state of the buttons/label and then access the model or is there an easier way?

Many thanks :)
