Said yes, you see (3)
I believe the answer is:
eye
'see' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'said yes' is the wordplay.
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'yes' becomes 'aye' ('aye' means 'yes').
'aye' sounds like 'EYE'.
'you' is the link.
(Other definitions for eye that I've seen before include "Ogle" , "Optic organ" , "Look at, scrutinise" , "Aim for" , "See 1" .)
