Indeed this would be difficult to implement, and furthermore I'm not convinced it's the best choice from a UI perspective.
It would be a bit of work even to find out when a comment linked to another comment, and notify it.
This sort of thing is why Tim Berners-Lee wanted hyperlinks to be two-directional in the first place, but there are a lot of good reasons why they're not.
This would not be that hard to implement. Each comment could have a list of linking comments. Then whenever a comment links to another, which is not hard to detect as links are already detected to support the comment markups, the list of the linked comment can be updated.
