There is no existing functionality for this, though it shouldn't be
too hard to write as this is one part of the design the
ProductFeature data model and functionality. That is used right now
for parametric searches, and those same "parameters" (or Features in
OFBiz lingo) would be used for a parametric product comparison.

The trick is defining which features to use in which comparisons and
to perhaps limit which products can be compared. The proposed
solution to this is to attach the parametric comparison features to a
category and require that all products being compared belong to that
category. Then given the productCategoryId and the 2 or more
productIds you can render a screen that compares those features.
