This also applies to search in ChatGPT.
It can also be useful if you dont know exactly what you are looking for with your initial query.

Clicking it will help you expand on the information snippet.
The original articles often include additional information, context and resources such as charts or tables.
Especially if its an academic source.
It can pull images and video clips into the results for more visual information.
it’s possible for you to specifically ask it to find images.
