Given an issue in JIRA with multiple comments, is there an easy way to link from one comment to another?

I can use the permalink, but that's a very long and ugly URL. I can also link to e.g. http://jira.example.com/browse/ISSUE-999#action_555213, but that's also rather cumbersome.

Is there a more convenient way? I remember being able to write "#12" in bugzilla to link to comment#12 in a bugzilla issue, but I can't find something similar in Jira.

AFAICT this is unsupported. This was requested by a (paying?) Jira customer a couple of years ago and was shot down: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-19537. More recently this was requested again: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28976 and has yet to be addressed by Atlassian.

For now the best you can do is take mliebelt's advice and use the permalink.
