Popular call intended, with no answer for provocation (10)

I believe the answer is:

incitement

'provocation' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'popular call intended with no answer' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'call' becomes 'cite' (citing is a kind of calling).
'intended' becomes 'meant' (to mean something is to intend it).
'with no' is a deletion indicator.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'meant' with 'a' removed is 'ment'.
'in'+'cite'+'ment'='INCITEMENT'

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
