I believe the answer is:

lorelei

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

'germanic siren' is the definition.
'Lorelei' can be an answer for 'siren' (Lorelei is an example). I'm not certain of the 'germanic' bit.

'in folklore leitmotif' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LORELEI' is hidden within 'folklore leitmotif'.

'featuring' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lorelei that I've seen before include "Fatal nymph of the Rhine" , "A Rhine maiden" , "alluring female" , "Siren of German legend who lured boatmen in the Rhine to destruction" , "Great Rock on the Rhine where sirens lived in legend" .)
