Just click on the "share" link for any answer. This will give you a little popup that contains a link that points directly to the answer. If, for example, you want to link to the famous answer to the question about parsing HTML with regex:

As you can see, this gives you a link directly to the answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/1535629). If you don't want to reveal your user ID number, delete all the stuff after the last / (so, in this example, https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454). Note that removing your user ID from the link prevents you from earning the Announcer, Booster, and Publicist badges.
