The Post ID that HaloScan uses, better known as the comment identifier, is the key. You can use the Post ID to find the relevant comment link.
To find which post a comment refers to if using Blogger / Blogspot:
  1. On the main HaloScan site, go to the Settings page.
  2. Click the Beta Features tab
  3. Click the Setup link next to the Fetch Blog Post Titles label
  4. Follow the instructions to complete the wizard
  5. Your blog posts' titles will now display throughout the members section in place of the numeric Post IDs
To find which post a comment refers to with other systems:
  1. On the main HaloScan site, select Manage Comments.
A different method as recommend by artesea for Blogger (although this should work for other blogs) is to do the following
  1. Search for your post id on Google eg, http://www.google.com/search?q=113191399148381148∞

It is acknowledged that this isn't the best way to accomplish this, but it is the only way at present. As mentioned in the Author's Note above, new functionality is under development to make this task much easier.
