I believe the answer is:

miles

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

This might be a double definition.

'will he' is the first definition.
'Miles' can be an answer for 'he'. I am unsure of the 'will' bit.

'far?' is the second definition.
(mile is a unit of distance)

'go' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for miles that I've seen before include "Imperial units of length" , "'But I have promises to keep, and . . . . . to go before I sleep' (Frost)" , "a long way" , "Distance units" .)
