I believe the answer is:

catch phrase

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

'just like that' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'net reportedly unravels' is the wordplay.
'net' becomes 'catch' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'unravels' becomes 'frays' (I've seen this in another clue).
'frays' sounds like 'phrase'.
'catch'+'phrase'='CATCH-PHRASE'

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for catch phrase that I've seen before include "Well-known sentence" , "Familiar words (of comedian)" , "Oft repeated slogan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
