To link to a comment from within Confluence,

  1. Click on 'Permalink' 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 on 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.

    when switching between to Rich Text the [$4711] is broken due to this bug:

    [http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-5920?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:worklog-tabpanel]

    a workaround is to put in the complete permanent link and alias it manually
