Not entirely sure what you mean by parent links. Does it mean adding the target attribute to links?
<a href="/" target="_parent">Some link</a>
This would be one of those "frame-buster" type constructs, but since there are no framesets or iframes on this site, when is this useful?

I think he means adding a link that says "Parent" somewhere close to the one saying "Reply". If this/my comment had such a link it would point to your comment https://pipedot.org/2WXS and so on.

Exactly. Especially it would not open a separate page, but just reposition the page to the parent comment.

Note that this is doable with standard HTML: Start each comment with an anchor containing the article number (like <a name="XYZ" /> if the article number is XYZ) and make the parent link <a href="#XYA">Parent</a> where XYA is the parent's article number.
