I believe the answer is:

pathway

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

'walk' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'possible pay thaw helpful if you have' is the wordplay.

However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pathway that I've seen before include "Walking track" , "A trodden track" , "route? ..." .)
