Yes. to get a link for a particular comment, you click on the time stamp on the top right of the posted message.

Either right click to copy and paste or, having regular-clicked, take the hyperlink from the browser address bar.

All of which applies to the desktop website, NOT the app / mobile web both of which I detest!
