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

'resolve hamlet's dilemma' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'enter with a pair of boots possibly' is the wordplay.
'a pair of boots' can mean two substitutions for 'boot'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'enter'+'boot'+'boot'='enterbootboot'
'enterbootboot' with letters rearranged gives 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE'.

'to' is the link.
