Well even that's debatable. I just had to go and check whether Amazon reviews and Facebook comments actually do have their own pages. That's because I've never seen them presented as anything other than objects within another container, either in a web page or a mobile app. So I think you could argue that when people are "linking" and marking things as useful, they're doing that on a more general abstraction, i.e. the "Work" (to borrow FRBR terminology) not the particular web page. And that's presumably the way that Facebook and Amazon see it too because that data is associated with the status or review in whichever medium I look at it (page or app).
