How do I comment on a Github pull request for a binary file that isn't shown

I'm reviewing a Github pull request for some new code. As can be seen in the partial screenshot below, some of the files being submitted are binary files that have been intentionally omitted by Github. The message displayed is "Binary file not shown."

enter image description here

I want to comment on the pull request about these files because they are being created in incorrect folders, but Github doesn't appear to have that feature for these files.

Is it possible for me to comment on Github pull requests for binary files not shown? If so, how?

I have tried bumbling around the UI, Googling, searching for this issue on the Github forum and here on SO, but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

First, as illustrated in Reviewable/Reviewable issue 135, this is not possible for GitHub itself (even though it is possible for some third-party tools).

Comments are still evolving (see "Multi-line comments"), but nothing involves binaries.

The main workaround remains to leave a comment on the PR itself, (conversation tab) rather than on a non-supported file.
