Direction' is the title (7)
I believe the answer is:
heading
This clue is a double definition.
'direction'' is the first definition.
(heading is a kind of direction)
'the title' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for heading that I've seen before include "Hide nag (anag.)" , "Aiming - title" , "Line of text at the top of an article" , "Being in front of" , "Bearing, direction" .)
