#1 An example of what the function gets 

echo get_comment_link(17); 
// http://example.com/frontend-15-hukov/comment-page-1#comment-17
0

#2 An example of the use of the HTML construct 

<a href="<?php echo get_comments_link( $comment ); ?>">
	comments to the post
</a>
0

#3 Removing part of the comment pagination page from the URL

Suppose we know beforehand that the comment is on the first page and we set the parameter cpage=0 to avoid adding the extra /comment-page-1 in the URL (in this case the pagination page will not be calculated):

echo get_comment_link( $comm, [ 'cpage'=>0 ] ); 
// https://wp-kama.ru/question/vyvod-postov#comment-234
0

#4 Example of Comment Link on the Date in Comments 

$posted_on = sprintf( __( 'Posted on %1$s at %2$s', 'textdomain' ), 
	get_comment_date( 'F j, Y' ), get_comment_time( 'g:ia' ) 
);

echo sprintf( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', esc_url( get_comment_link() ), $posted_on );
