According to what @hube2 said it’s possible, bot not implemented because of:
1. The complexity (it requires much more effort to “guess” the field name: more DB queries and matching location rules, etc).
2. Possible performance issues.

IMO it would be great if such feature was implemented. There could be a function like: acf_get_field_name_by_key();
