What's the problem with writing a comment under it immediately? Or make a discussion post that has only a link in the beginning?
I have written a comment to my own post once in a while. It just seems unwieldy and it's a little awkward to immediately comment on your own post.
I also have considered the idea of including the link in the discussion post. It is an option, but I do think link posts should be identifiable immediately.
As another benefit, allowing a short comment space would limit meaningless link posts because the poster would be forced to put some thought into it before submitting.

I think included the link is a good idea.

Plus, if you just include a link in a discussion post, does it come up when SN warns you the link has already been posted? I'm guessing not, whereas it does for a link post.

While I agree this is a workaround and perfectly acceptable. I do see what he is saying.
