I was just using ChatGPT to help me pick an SDK library. It mentions a few options by name (e.g. Baileys, whatsapp-web.js), but when I click those names rather than opening a browser with the source page like it used to, it now opens a modal and uses ChatGPT to basically generate a fake homepage for this tool.

From what I can tell, there is no longer any way to easily get to the underlying web page that was referenced in generating its answer to my question.

This feels like a pretty meaningful step backwards. Am I missing something?
