I believe the answer is:

clue

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'this' is the first definition.
(the clue referring to itself!)

'the answer' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for clue that I've seen before include "For example, this" , "Crossword hint?" , "contribution to crossword" , "Pointer" , "crossword guide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
