I guess they implemented it using a html link because it's easier. They reserve the JavaScript magic for very special cases.

Anyway, I think it's a good idea. Send it to the mods by email [email protected] because these threads sometimes are not noticed.

I think the ping attribute could be useful for that https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#...

AFAICT this feature should also be possible to implement server-side using Arc.

The difficult part is to return to the exact position in the page. I guess that returning to the top of the same comment page is a change in one line.
