What’s the "Contacts" Button for in Contact Edit for Outlook 2007?

I’ve seen this button before but never really thought about it I guess when I was editing a contact in my address book in Outlook 2007.
When you click on it, it lets you browse through all of you contacts and you can add a contact into this field.
My question is what’s it for?
Is it letting me link contacts to each other in some sort of relationship? Are there tasks and controls I can use to manipulate or view contacts by their relationships assigned in this field?
I can’t even find anything about it online when I did a quick search so I thought I’d post it here and see if anyone of you have been using it or know what it can be used for somehow.
Let me know, and I’ll keep searching as well.
I had an idea, however I don’t actually have that button in my edit contact screen. (I’m running Outlook 2007 (12.0.6313.5000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6320.5000)
I’ll share my idea… Basically sometimes I take entries from the corporate (exchange-based) address books and add an email address into my personal address book. I do this in another fashion, but thought it makes sense to have a button there… But it doesn’t exist for me!
