What kind of comment are you talking about? What software or website? The answer is most likely no, as transactions themselves don't have a comment field.

Are you talking about the `comment` field in JSON RPC? `sendtoaddress "address" amount ( "comment" "comment_to" subtractfeefromamount replaceable conf_target "estimate_mode")`
