It's a short cut, Ann … rather than writing a note that requires a text body, you just send the link as the subject line. Clicking it in every system and browser I have available to me (iOS and macOS) just wakes up the web browser with a new page that the link points to.
I used this short cut rather a lot when I was at the office … it's an efficient way to pass links around when you have been in progress in a related conversation already. Doing it via txt messages works too, but email is more secure.
