Research direction
Start by examining the 'comment button' module, likely in the 'lib/modules/commentTools.js' or similar file. Look for the code that generates the 'parents' popup and identifies when there are no visible parents. The context link is likely a hyperlink to the parent comment; check if it's already implemented elsewhere. Then, add conditional logic to display the context link when appropriate. Review existing pull requests or comments for potential implementation hints. Test by running RES in development mode on Reddit with comments nested deeply.
