This is not possible. You can create a link that automatically opens the post editor for a _new_ topic, but you cannot create a link that functions in that way for replies to an existing topic. Details about creating links for new topics are here: [Creating a link to start a new topic with pre-filled information](https://meta.discourse.org/t/compose-a-new-pre-filled-topic-via-url/28074).
