User story

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a visitor sometimes I want to link to another comment.

Describe the solution you'd like

To have a unique URL to see a comment thread as other platforms that have comments threading has. It should be really clear that there other comments on this Proposal.

Describe alternatives you've considered

To link to a comment on the same page of the Proposal/Debate/etc, as Discourse does. On our case for perfomance reasons could be really difficult to achieve, specially what happens if a proposal has thousands of comments? Discourse has summary views for these threads.

Additional context

Examples on:

• HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21891529
• Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Barcelona/comments/efydqu/la_torre_de_les_gl%C3%B2ries_vista_des_del_macba/fc39i8f/
• Meneame: https://www.meneame.net/c/28106165

It's really important to be clear that there are more comments on this page (for instance on Meneame is not clear that this is happening)

Acceptance criteria

• As a visitor I can get the URL of a given comment

@decidim/product I've updated the code to scroll to the comments section when checking a single comment, can you review it?
