This makes sense because ACF uses the built in link popup for WP, and in this case that is probably being overridden by the plugin.

The main issue here is that when that popup is completed there is JavaScript that runs that gets the values from it an populates hidden values associated with the ACF field. In this case there are no hidden fields to populate and the JS would not populate them if they existed, and I don’t think there is anything in the ACF JS API that would let you do this.

You are correct about this being a niche ask. The developers of ACF usually do not add features for specific plugins, but it has been done in the past for things like popular translation plugins. You would have to ask them directly.

Baring that, someone would need to create a custom field type based on the acf field type or find another solution.

I have actually done the latter using a group field with each setting being a sub field.
