How Stackoverflow jump to the exact location of the comment or reply?

Question

I am developing a forum site for my company's internal use. I am developing it using asp.net.

So when a user started a thread other users can reply to it. So then I show a notification on the top to thread owner by using signalR.

So in Stackoverflow when I click on a notification if it is a reply then SO directly go to that thread. ( This is doable. I am generating hyperlinks in the notification messages and its already working. ) But how then SO jump to the exact location of the comment or a reply and then highlight it? If there are pagination in the page how this is possible?

You can assign "#" to threads/posts and add them into the link. eg: reply #1200 at thread "HELP" the link will be yourdomain.com/forum/Help#1200.
