It's open to view (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eye

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

'view' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'it's open' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'open' becomes 'ye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e'+'ye'='EYE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye that I've seen before include "One looks" , "Observe narrowly" , "See 1" , "It accommodates a pupil" , "where the pupil is seated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
