The chain is called link. Here is the description from the logic docs:

Link mode insures that any audio sequences selected in the Arrange 
window are displayed in the Sample Edit window. Link mode is turned off 
and on by clicking the switch marked with the "linked chain" symbol, or 
with the key command.

If you often work in Link mode, give this a try: open a Sample Edit 
window and switch on Link mode. Now close the window. Logic now leaves 
Link mode permanently on.

Double-click on the audio region you wish to view. You can see 
immediately that the display in both windows is linked.

Now what does that mean?

Try this.

Open the arrange window.
Double click on the link function, it will turn yellow.
Create a midi sequence that is 4 bars long.
Chop the sequence into 1 bar lengths, or 4, 1 bar sequences.
Open the matrix editor while keeping the arrange window open and tile 
them.
Double click on the link function in the matrix editor, it will turn 
yellow.
Make sure you have midi data from the matrix being displayed. Bar 1 
will work perfect.
When you hit play, the data in the matrix editor should follow the 
arrange window's song position line, from bar 1, to bar 2, etc.

So, the link button causes the data in any editor to follow along with 
the song position line.

I hope that made sence..

George
