Does it provide a link to the comment or its content? I get why it might not but I'm curious...

In this case, it does not. But if the comment was removed, there wouldn't be anything to link to anyway.

When a mod bans a user, there's a checkbox to remove content automatically, which makes sense, if it's bad enough to merit a ban, there's no way the comment stays.

If the comment itself were simply removed, you would see a copy paste of it in the modlog.

If you can't be a good example, you can still be a dire warning.
