I believe the answer is:

register

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

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

'will make an impression on you' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for register that I've seen before include "(Put one's name down on) list" , "Read" , "Record in writing" , "part of our paper" , "Official record of names, transactions" .)
