I just wanted to link to this post in this comment but when others click on it, i think it opens the post in another instance, when looked at from the web browser. Is there a good way to properly link to posts and comments?

There are some services such as lemmyverse.link to link to posts and comments in a instance agnostic way, but they aren't a native solution.

There is a FEP called "Object Links" to accomplish this, but who knows if it ever will be implemented: https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/e232/

I think UUID might solve this, as it's supposed to generate worldwide-unique identifiers:

The DOI system might also be an interesting approach to give each piece of content on the internet an instance agnostic link.
