Saw that could be done easily (4,4,2)

I believe the answer is:

laid eyes on

'saw' is the definition.
(laying eyes on is a kind of seeing)

'could be done easily' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'done'+'easily'='doneeasily'
'doneeasily' with letters rearranged gives 'LAID EYES ON'.

'that' is the link.

(Another definition for laid eyes on that I've seen is " saw".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
