How to extract a link to (and search for) any comment on Scratch (that aren't mine)?

I just became a wiki editor and I want to add a link to comments as references. I know there 2 ways to extract links: Commeting on the comment you want the link to and inspect. However, I forgot the steps for these ways, how do wiki editors links to comments? Also, from what I can remember, the steps for these are quite complicated, are there any websites that can extract them for me?

EDIT: the comments I'm trying to find are buried quite deep in the users profile (the user is a very famous person), now how do I search for a comment without spam clicking the “Load more” button?

1. right click the comment, “inspect element”
2. find something along the lines of “id=”comments-578196288“”
3. doubleclick the comments-578196288 part and copy that
4. add #[the thing you just copied] after the project link
like:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/104#comments-578196288


OR you can use browser extensions

Unfortunately if it's on a profile comment section, stuff like this happens often with famous people or older comments and you might have to wait for Scratch to fix it
This is also part of the reason why people often use projects for comments

Also, I'm pretty sure it's a bug or at least a speed problem bc u can see it doesn't occur with projects

So that means there is no way to find comments or what?

No like there is but when you go to the link, u may find that it takes forever to load
This is a known problem with profile comment links, and u may notice this in some other references on the Scratch Wiki

Don't really know of a way other than looking at all the different pages of the user's profile comments maybe and searching them all
Though if you get the comment link, it might be pretty much a dead link due to the speed issue
