Remarks

To obtain the comments attached to a layer element, use:

IEnumerable<ILayerComment> comments = model.Comments
  .Where(comment => comment.Links
     .Any(link => link.Target == layerElement));

Notice that the Comments property of an ILayerElement gets comments that are contained within the ILayerElement - not comments that are linked to it.
