I believe the answer is:

own

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

This could be a double definition.

'have a quarter' is the first definition.
'own' can be an answer for 'have' (to have something is to own it). I'm not certain of the 'a quarter' bit.

'hold' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for own that I've seen before include "Possess - recognise - admit" , "Acknowledge" , "Control" , "Be in legal possession of (3)" , "Possess or confess" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
