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' 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.

What you will get

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="862fc8a6-6fcc-47d1-be15-f3b80b15823b"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

[$129613]

[$129613]

]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

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.

For example link to a comment in differnet space .

To link to a comment from outside Confluence,

  1. Right click on 'Permalink' located below the text of the comment within the comments box.

  2. Copy the link location of the comment. Alternately, click on 'Permalink' and copy the url displayed in the address bar of your browser.

  3. Use this url to link to the comment from your web page.
