For that case, you absolutely don't have enough information to get the
ID. No globals are set anywhere, so you got nothing.

For the comments, the id of the post is stored in $comment and is passed  as get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID). So, I could make $comment global too, and get the ID from there, but there's not enough context to tell if we're looping through $posts or $comments.
