When i hover over a comment it shows me the link in the bottom left(i managed to do that already...). And when i click on the comment it sends the link to the textarea. The screenshot shows where i want to have the link of the comment...

If your <a> tag has the id of "link" and the <textarea> "area" then you can do this.
document.getElementById('link').addEventListener('click', function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    
    // this will get you the link.
    alert(this.href);
    
    // this will add it to the textarea
    document.getElementById('area').appendChild(document.createTextNode(this.href));
}, false);
Hopefully anyway :P
