Add the ability to get the link for a comment

Let's say I wanted to send @example the link to a comment. Instead of telling him/her the link of the project/studio/forum and to scroll down, I would send him/her the link to the exact comment and they see it quicker! How's that?

Highlight this text and then hold SHIFT+DOWN to scroll down on my signature.
when green flag clicked
say [Hello everyone, this is my signature.] for (2) secs
say [I have Type 1 diabetes.] for (2) secs
inject (5) units of [NovoRapid]
eat (25) grams of carbohydrates
stop following code and do whatever you want.

Currently, there's a way to get the comment ID. However a button that does this would be cool to have…

Right-click in the comment >> Inspect Element



<div id="comments-156551018" class="flex-row comment">
the comment id is 156551018

Users on iOS devices cannot get the links of comments using inspect (as it doesn't exist), so this would make the website more mobile friendly.

You could just use the Mac to do it then
Also, you can if it was from the messages page, you can copy the url from the messages page, or you can also just copy from the search bar.

medians: I knew it would happen. I was the one who started it last year.
Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-

user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

I'm quite surprised this isn't already a feature (and that I hadn't noticed this before, haha!) - the Inspect Element workaround is a long solution and quite inaccessible in my opinion, especially with the previously brought up iOS concerns.

I'm personally all for this suggestion - with regard to implementation, I imagine a system like the one on the Scratch Forums would work - by which I mean, where the timestamp offers a hyperlink to the comment.

My only potential point of contention is that it could lead to ‘brigading’ - in which people link to a comment by an user they don't like with the aim of getting people to comment potentially nasty and Terms of Service-breaking things, which is currently an issue on other sites that have similar features. However, I don't see this as a big concern - in my time on Scratch, I've only seen it with the current system with projects twice, and with comments perhaps once? As a result, we can probably dismiss this contention - though it's perhaps something worth noting.
