titled

'front like a duke' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'bird went' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird).
'went' becomes 'led' (leading is a kind of going).
'tit'+'led'='TITLED'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for titled that I've seen before include "Given a name" , "as duke and duchess are?" , "Named" , "Upper-class" , "Like a duke, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
