How to write a reference like

I guess my comment [mask][N] was nonsense

where [N] is the number of the comment made in the current conversation and [mask] something to tell github to reference comments (like # does for issues)?

A full or partial quote would be a workaround, but requires either to enlarge the conversation with text which is unnecessary (consider 25 linues of comment against :3) or to write the partial quote > [5 start words] ... [5 end words] which is hard to read and takes seconds to create and read.

You only need copy the URL in the date of comment and paste in the issue or PR.
