Description

(split off from T265268)

We could add an interface element that allows users to link to comment anchors, so they can more easily refer to other comments.

This would be similar to clicking on the timestamp in Phabricator or Twitter.

These links would be somewhat fragile due to archiving (like article hash links) but relative hash links within a thread would be very stable.

matmarex moved this task from Backlog to Triaged on the DiscussionTools board.

These links would be somewhat fragile due to archiving (like article hash links) but relative hash links within a thread would be very stable.

@matmarex would it be accurate for me to understand the above as meaning the following?

Links to specific comments would "break" if a comment was to be moved to a different page (e.g. if someone were to archive the conversation the comment was a part of).
Links to specific comments would be stable provided those comments remained on page to which they were originally posted

Yes
