I believe the answer is:

imagine

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

'mind' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'have something in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'image' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imagine that I've seen before include "Devise" , "Number one" , "Conjure up in mind,fancy" , "Assume" , "Suppose; think up" .)
