I've seen people link comments before, but how do you get the link for them?

You need a browser extension.

You can find comments IDs using your browser's developer tools, usually accessible by right-clicking the page, then clicking Inspect. In some browsers, you can also press Ctrl+Shift+I or F12.

In the corner, there should be a button that looks like a mouse pointer with a box around it.



Click that button, then click on the comment you want to link to.
Look at the code in the developer tools. It might look a bit complicated, but there should be a line that looks something like this:

It should look something like this in the devtools.

The part that you're interested in is the comment ID, which is the part that looks like “comments-123456789”.
Copy that part, then add it to the end of the project/user/studio URL with a hashtag in front of it, like this:
Notice the /# before the comment ID.

If you did this correctly, you should now have a working link to your desired comment.

There are extensions that automate this process, but Scratch's userscript policy doesn't allow me to name them.

You can also just right-click the comment you want and click inspect. I find it's a lot quicker ^w^

Ok, thank you!

One way you could do it is with potatophant's Magnifier tool.

1. Copy ONLY the studio/project ID from your browser's address bar (e.g. scratch.mit.edu/projects/{projectidhere}, scratch.mit.edu/studios/{studioidhere}) or the user's username (e.g. scratch.mit.edu/users/(usernamehere)
2. Visit the Magnifier Browse page: https://magnifier.potatophant.net/browse
3. When the page loads, paste in the ID you got in step 1 into its respective field (put studio IDs in the Studio box, put project IDs in the Project box, put usernames in the Users box)
4. Find the comment you want to link.
5. Hover your mouse over the comment you want to link, and press “Copy Link”.
6. Congratulations, you have copied a comment link! Paste it wherever you need.

If this looks long and difficult, it's actually not, I went into detail on how to do this.
