I believe the answer is:

visor

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

'through which to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a girl's love for romeo' is the wordplay.
'a girl's' becomes 'Vis' (short for Violet).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'vis'+'o'+'r'='VISOR'

'see' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
