I believe the answer is:

tallyho

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

'cry from huntsman' is the definition.
'tallyho' can be an answer for 'cry' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'from huntsman' bit.

'lanky youth initially given house' is the wordplay.
'lanky' becomes 'tall' (similar in meaning).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
The initial letter of 'youth' is 'y'.
'tall'+'y'+'ho'='TALLYHO'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tallyho that I've seen before include "cry when hunting" , "four-in-hand" .)
