That changes with the new iPad Pro, which for the first time fully supports cursor input, and a new Magic Keyboard (coming in May) that adds a trackpad.

Say the same thing to your Mac, however, and Siri responds in a more multitasking-friendly way by appearing in a small window in the corner of the screen, allowing you to drag and drop retrieved items from it.
