If your use case permits, you can figure out the frame of the bar button item 
in it's action selector by giving the selector the following signature:

- (void)barButtonAction:(UIBarButtonItem *)item event:(UIEvent *)event;

You can then use the properties of UIEvent to get the touches location, or the 
view that the touches belong to.

For instance:
- (IBAction)barButtonAction:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender event:(UIEvent *)event{
    UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
    CGPoint locationInView = [[[event allTouches] anyObject] 
locationInView:self.view];
    NSLog(@"event touch location = %@", [NSValue 
valueWithCGPoint:locationInView]);
    NSLog(@"touch.view = %@", [touch view]);
}
