Call attention to indirectly (6)

I believe the answer is:

allude

(Other definitions for allude that I've seen before include "Make indirect reference (to)" , "Suggest or call attention to indirectly" , "Make reference to, perhaps indirectly" , "Refer to, speak of" , "Refer briefly or indirectly in speaking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
