I believe the answer is:

prince consort

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

'victoria's hubby' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'isn't pc tangling with coroner' is the wordplay.
'tangling with' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'tangle' mean this).
'isnt'+'pc'='isntpc'
'isntpc' mixed up with 'coroner' makes 'PRINCE-CONSORT'.

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prince consort that I've seen before include "Husband of reigning monarch" , "Albert, for example" , "Albert, say" , "Albert was one once" , "Duke of Edinburgh" .)
