Can one URL-reference a specific reply in a post?

Can one URL-reference a specific reply in a post?

I would like to URL-reference (ie, save a link to) a specific reply in a Moodle forum thread/topic. I can go to the "Parent" link...but I can't find a way to reference the specific reply post.

Is there a bona fide way to do this in all case? How about in just some cases as a workaround?

eg, I see a reference to a "SCORM primer" as a reply to this "parent" post:

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=14219&parent=72088

...but I'd rather just save the reply instead of the "parent" of the reply. How can I do this?

Use this format:

http://moodle.site/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=x&parent=y

x - the id of the discussion
y - the id of the post (you can find it out e.g. by hovering the mouse over the "Reply" link)

Alternatively, Matt, use this format (same post number as above):

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=14219#72106

It loads the whole page, then the browser "jumps down" to the specific post. Not always as good as using "parent" but worth mentioning.
