I believe the answer is:

somehow

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

'in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'note heckler's face during catcall' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'note' could be 'so' (musical note) and 'so' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for somehow that I've seen before include "In an unspecified manner" , "By unspecified means" , "In a way not yet specified" , "For an unknown reason; so who, me? (anag.)" , "By one means or another" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
