If you're talking about the commit hook for the Change-id, it's all
documented here http://qt-project.org/wiki/Setting-up-Gerrit

It's possible to just give a link to the review (either its number or
the Change-id + the repository are unique in gerrit; you can get a
direct link with the link "Permalink" on a review's main page), but I
don't know of a method to reference a *specific* comment on a patch.
