Google featured snippets now with related topics, extending the information in those snippets

Google is now showing extended featured snippets, where they add more information to the top featured snippet box for some queries. Featured snippets are often seen in the Google search results when Google is confident they can answer your query by extracting content from a specific web page.

Now, it seems Google is showing extended versions of them showing “related topics” that hyperlink to additional queries in Google.

Here are two screen shots, one for [birth control] and the other for [personal loan]. Both those queries currently bring up extended featured snippets for me:

It is not surprising to see Google place more content and information in the featured snippet box.
