Webb can do "imaging spectroscopy", where it can take an image, but it will take a spectrum and every pixel of the image as well. In imaging spectroscopy, there is information on the spectrum of wavelengths present in each tiny piece of the image. This can help clue scientists in as to what elements or chemicals might have created that spectrum.
