Yes, for the moment i get the parent field from root group and i go through its children :

add_filter( 'acf/get_fields',  'acf_get_fields', 10, 2 );
function acf_get_fields( $fields, $parent ) {
	if ( $parent['key'] === 'group1' ) {
		foreach ( $fields as &$field ) {
			if ( $field['name'] === 'my_parent_field' ) {
				foreach ( $field['sub_fields'] as $k => &$sub_field ) {
					if ( $sub_field['name'] === 'my_target_field' ) {
						// my code
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return $fields;
}

But it would be great if acf_get_field_ancestors works with clone fields 🙂

Sadly, i looked at the source code and apparently, it could takes a lot of work.
