This is a cost of being universal... Comments extension can be used for commenting on almost any record in the system but it cannot extend every table. So it stores data centrally.

The reference exists. Actually, it is made in the proper TYPO3 format (tablename_uid). Comments record will show the commented record in BE. Additionally comments extension properly updates reference index to ensure that links between two records are maintained properly.

It is safe :)
