Currently, there is no visual indication that the link exists, although it still does work.It works as a convenience feature. However, I don't think we should publicize it much, as a comment is first and foremost, dead data.
To me comments are mainly things that don't get exported. I don't know what you mean by "dead", but comments are certainly "data", and data is not dead. Their utility and data density is reduced if they can't contain links (or I can't see that the link is there, which is sort-of the same thing).
When writing a document it is useful to leave informal notes to myself that say "see X" where X is an external file, or a section (or some code) elsewhere in this document, etc.
This can be done with "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE :exports none", or "**SECTION :noexport:", but both of those are awful hacks when a single line or a few words are all that is needed.
