I am very new to mapbox and leaflet. I am trying to extend the basic mapbox example here to let a user click on a small thumbnail satellite image that will take them to the satellite view. I have been through the examples of both mapbox and leaflet but see no way to do it. Is it possible? Something how google maps does with the satellite view in the lower left hand corner:

var map = L.mapbox.map('map', 'mapbox.streets')
.setView([40, -74.50], 9);
</script>

EDIT: Though this example is mapbox js I really don't care if it is mapbox gl or js. Can be either. ok thanks.

You can use a mapbox static api to get a preview of the satellite image:
<img src="https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/satellite-v9/static/-74.50000,40.00000,9.0,0,0/300x300?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiYndhZGFtc29uIiwiYSI6ImNqajZhNm1idDFzMjIza3A2Y3ZmdDV6YWYifQ.9NhptR7a9D0hzWXR51y_9w"/>[ https://www.mapbox.com/help/static-api-playground/ ]
Update:
You can use the mapbox/geo-viewport library to calculate centerpoint and zoom for preview, and render event to update preview:
map.on('render', function() {
setMapPreview()
})
function setMapPreview() {
var bounds = map.getBounds().toArray()
bounds = [bounds[0][0], bounds[0][1], bounds[1][0], bounds[1][1]]
// The size of the desired map.
var size = [100, 100];
// Calculate a zoom level and centerpoint for this map.
var vp = geoViewport.viewport(bounds, size, 0, 24, 512);
// Construct a static map url
// https://www.mapbox.com/developers/api/static/
document.getElementById('preview').src =
'https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/satellite-v9/static/' +
vp.center.join(',') + ',' + vp.zoom + ',0,0/' +
size.join('x') + '?' +
'attribution=false&logo=false&access_token=' + mapboxgl.accessToken;
}

It's not a problem to add an event click to the preview, and rotate styles:
document.getElementById('preview').addEventListener('click', function () {
map.setStyle('mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-v9')
})
