Hi.  Means you can place a URL at that location by copy/ paste.  "Set" meaning create or insert...

The only real reason for manually setting a note URL is that the url appears at the top of the note.

If you add notes using the webclipper, the note URL is automatically filled in for you. Personally, I have never seen the need to manually add a note URL.

You can actually search specifically for the contents of the note url using the advanced search syntax (although I'm not sure this particular string is documented). So typing

sourceurl:https://twitter*

into the search box finds the note above. Potentially useful if you want to find all notes from a particular website - chances are the notes have been added using the webclipper so the url is automatically there.

As another example 

sourceurl:https://www.bbc*

finds the 40 notes I have clipped from the bbc website but a general search for bbc finds 191 notes,
