I'm quite surprised this isn't already a feature (and that I hadn't noticed this before, haha!) - the Inspect Element workaround is a long solution and quite inaccessible in my opinion, especially with the previously brought up iOS concerns.
I'm personally all for this suggestion - with regard to implementation, I imagine a system like the one on the Scratch Forums would work - by which I mean, where the timestamp offers a hyperlink to the comment.
My only potential point of contention is that it could lead to ‘brigading’ - in which people link to a comment by an user they don't like with the aim of getting people to comment potentially nasty and Terms of Service-breaking things, which is currently an issue on other sites that have similar features. However, I don't see this as a big concern - in my time on Scratch, I've only seen it with the current system with projects twice, and with comments perhaps once? As a result, we can probably dismiss this contention - though it's perhaps something worth noting.
