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

'that to work with soft options?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'it's wrong getting drug treatment on bender' is the wordplay.
'it's wrong' becomes 'sin' (I've seen this before).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'drug' becomes 'e' (e is another name for ecstasy).
'treatment on bender' becomes 'cures' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'sin'+'e'+'cures'='SINECURES'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sinecures that I've seen is " Livings".)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
