The story has a title, you say (7)
I believe the answer is:
account
'the story' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a title you say' is the wordplay.
'title' becomes 'count' (I have seen 'European title ' mean 'count' so perhaps 'title' could also mean 'count').
'you say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'count' is a homophone of 'ccount'.
'a'+'ccount'='ACCOUNT'
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for account that I've seen before include "Explanation of conduct" , "Narrative; statement" , "Tell" , "Statement of transactions and costs" , "Financial statement" .)
