I believe the answer is:

agraphia

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

'partial inability to write' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'strange air gap ah' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'air'+'gap'+'ah'='airgapah'
'airgapah' is an anagram of 'AGRAPHIA'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for agraphia that I've seen is " Disorder leaving one unable to write".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
