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

'original thoughts' is the definition.
'ideas' can be an answer for 'thoughts' ('idea' can be a synonym of 'thought'). I am unsure of the 'original' bit.

'the aside is transformed' is the wordplay.
'is transformed' indicates an anagram.
'aside' is an anagram of 'IDEAS'.

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for ideas that I've seen before include "Fancies" , "Thoughts, creative perhaps" , "Thoughts, concepts" , "Thoughts, maybe creative" , "thinking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
