wallaby

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'creature' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'young heading away enthrals everyone' is the wordplay.
'young heading' becomes 'wa' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'away' becomes 'by' (synonyms).
'enthrals' indicates putting letters inside.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'wa'+'by'='waby'
'waby' enclosing 'all' is 'WALLABY'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
