How do I create a link for a certain comment or thread?

I've seen other people do this and I've wanted to use it but I can't figure out how.
Could anyone explain to me, meaning like what to press?

Is there a way to do it without a mouse?

Thanks, Pages

You need to inspect element(Hover over a place with no text in the comment you want to link and press F12 or simply right-click on a place with no text aka comment you wanna link and press Inspect Element) a part of the comment and find ‘comment-id(string of numbers)’
Copy the string of numbers and put this into the place you're getting it from:
/#comments-(the string of numbers you just copied)
Now press enter and you're done, you got the link.
Here's an example comment off my profile just to clear any misunderstanding: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/Zydrolic/#comments-276379718
Or with forbidden word, you can just click ‘Copy Link.’
EDIT: Place you're getting from, I'm referring to the link at the top, you just wanna add that /#comments-(commentid you got) to your url and you should be good to link, make sure to test though by just pressing enter.

Right click the comment and click Inspect, then find something with comments-[some number] above the selected thing:

(on projects)

(on profiles)
Copy that, then put #comments-[the comment id you pasted] after the URL, like this: scratch.mit.edu/users/griffpatch/#comments-276414980

Alternatively, you can use browser extensions.

(Zydrolic on main here)
Here's a screenshot example

Might look diff since I'm using an extension.
EDIT: Didn't see CST's post, you can ignore this.

Also incase you mean forum posts, you need to click the date of when it was posted in the top left corner of the post.

It shouldn't be too hard, on the pages, you can just copy and paste the id from inspect, and add #(whatever is here). It should look like https://scratch.mit.edu/…/#comments-(id here)

If you got a link from a notification, you can copy it from the messages page.

You should be able to hold on it until it shows the option to copy it, or click on it and copy the url from the search bar, like with any other link.
