I believe the answer is:

parti pris

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

'preconceived view' is the definition.
'parti pris' can be an answer for 'view' (parti pris is a kind of view). I'm not certain of the 'preconceived' bit.

'special trip through capital' is the wordplay.
'special' indicates an anagram.
'through' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters go through the word).
'capital' becomes 'paris' (capital of France).
'trip' with letters rearranged gives 'rtip'.
'rtip' placed inside 'paris' is 'PARTI PRIS'.

'of' is the link.
