I believe the answer is:

bewitch

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

'charm' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'network backing urgent desire' is the wordplay.
'network' becomes 'web' (synonyms).
'backing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'urgent desire' becomes 'itch' (itch is a kind of desire. I am not sure about the 'urgent' bit.).
'web' reversed gives 'bew'.
'bew'+'itch'='BEWITCH'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bewitch that I've seen before include "Enchant - or curse" , "intrigue" , "Spellbind" , "add glamour" , "Entrance" .)
