Thought that's within: inside, always (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idea

'thought' is the definition.
(idea is a kind of thought)

'within inside always' is the wordplay.
'within' indicates a hidden word.
'IDEA' is hidden in the letters of 'inside always'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for idea that I've seen before include "Content of cognition" , "Thought; concept" , "Something imagined in the mind" , "Fancy" , "Purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
