We would like to have one item (image, intro, title) and under it comments from that one item. Ideally also a comment-box with possibility to add a comment. I haven't found a way to do this, but for now we use the comment module to show the comments.
Problem is that we cannot choose the item we want to show comments to via the module, only the category. The only way to go around this is to have one separate category, where we move this item we want to show. But this is not a good way due to the URL changes that this method causes.
Is there any possibility to add the possibility to choose an Item ID instead of category name for the source comments.

I can send you a link next week after we publish the site. Now still under constracution and closed.
The idea is to have a box on frontpage, with the following:
One K2 item image
K2 item title
K2 item intro
Latest comments FOR THAT same K2 item
Comment box where readers can give a comment (on frontpage).
*****
I know this last one is not maybe possible. The issue now is the K2 comments module and the fact we cannot choose ONE ITEM. We have to choose ALL categories or for example ONE CATEGORY.
If we choose One category (where the K2 item is), the comment module will show ALL comments for the category. So not all comment for that one item we chose for "conversation".
Only way around this now is to create a new category and move that ONE item to that new category and choose that new category as the source for comments (in K2 comments module).
This method causes URL issues later on when we move the item back to the original category.
****
All this would be fixed if we could choose the source of comment from ONE ITEM ID. :)

Don't related the item with the K2 Comments module. The latter is a way to gather latest comments in a sidebar or a site's homepage. It's not meant to present the comments of a single item.
To ACTUALLY show an item's comments, simply make sure you have comments enabled (to show) in the item's category settings. If it's enabled there but you still don't see the comments and comments form, then check if comments are hidden specifically for that K2 item in its display settings.
After you do that, simply create a menu item pointing to this single K2 item. Done.

those are all set, what I am talking about is a way to get a module on the FRONTPAGE where people can take part in a conversation regarding an K2 item. Many blog-sites have nowadays a box for "Take part in the conversation". We choose an article we want people to talk about to be featured on the frontpage and people can comment right there... This is what I am trying to do. So yes, I need a module for that since we cannot have the whole frontpage being just one K2 item. :)

You could of course make the component view occupy a smaller space in your homepage so you can load a single K2 item (from the component).

we are using yootheme pro theme with it's Pagebuilder and it does not support K2. But I will just have to use this method of adding image+title+intro and under it the comment module. I have put the item to it's own category, so I can set it to show comments only from this one category. My wish would be that there would be possible in this K2 comments module to show comments from one or specified K2 items ID's. :)
