Perhaps preceding your list of related links you could state that the following is a list of (recent?) related HN submissions.
- nubinetwork 3y agoI'll consider it.
- bozhark 3y agoIt’s implied imo
- abrookewood 3y agoYeah, the submission IDs are all very close.
- sysop073 3y agoYou thought perhaps they commented a list of random unrelated HN submissions?
- michaelteter 3y agoThe links are all just https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=######## https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=########. It's obvious they refer to some content on HN, but it could be comments, replies to comments, etc. By adding a small bit of human text, the human doesn't have to ponder the list and wonder what they will get if they click a link. And if there were human text, someone arriving by way of the parent comment link would have an easy time understanding the context without having to scan a lot of characters and make assumptions.
