This could be a double definition.

'the utopian' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idealist that I've seen before include "Person with noble aspirations, perhaps unrealistic" , "An optimist or romantic" , "One sees things as they should be rather than how they are" , "Visionary" , "One who aspires to a perfect world" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
