I tell them
“I have some knowledge about that. Would you mind elaborating how this tool/process is used within the company and team?”

Usually once they answer, the tables have been turned and there isn’t room for them to re-ask the question. And once they answer how it is used, I look for an opportunity to say how I do have some of that knowledge regarding some part of the process so it looks like I know more
