You need to edit in Wiki Markup mode to create a link to a comment.

To link to a comment from within Confluence,

  1. Click on 'Permalink' or the date located below the text of the comment within the comments box.
    You will notice in the address bar of your browser that the URL displayed ends in a series of numerals.

  2. Copy only the numerals.

  3. Click the 'Edit' tab of the page from which you want to link to the comment.

  4. Paste the numerals between square brackets (as you would when you create any link in Confluence), and then include the dollar sign '$' in front of the numerals.

Because you are linking to the actual database ID of the comment, you do not need to specify a space or a page id explicitly as that's calculated automatically from the database ID.

Here's an example of linking to a comment in a different space.
