Comment (by afercia):

 Replying to [comment:2 melchoyce]:
 > Good point about the post titles — I think we should always show the
 title, and that it should link to the post itself, not the edit screen. It
 doesn't really make sense in this context, especially when you might be
 quickly moderating a comment and then want to look at it live.

 Thinking at this, when the comment is approved, it is possible to link to
 the in-page comment e.g. `my-post-title/#comment-3`. When the comment is
 pending it won't appear on the front end so the link should point to the
 post e.g. `my-post-title/`.

 By the way, some themes and plugins hide the comments in a expandable div
 or things like that. So maybe keep it simple and always link to the post?
