Thanks John – I figured something out.

I wrote this function:

function generate_acf_shortcode( $field ) {
 echo '<pre>[post-snippet post="'; print_r($field['value']); echo '"]</pre>';
}

add_action( 'acf/render_field/type=page_link', 'generate_acf_shortcode', 10, 1 );

This generated the proper snippet syntax (actual short code i wrote elsewhere) inline with my page_link fields.

I followed that up by altering it to this:

function generate_acf_shortcode( $field ) {
  $_SESSION['acf_post_link'] = $field['value'];
}

add_action( 'acf/render_field/type=page_link', 'generate_acf_shortcode', 10, 1 );

and then in the EMF field I called this to pull those values in for each field:

[post-snippet post="<?php echo $_SESSION['acf_post_link']; ?>"]

Ended up With this:
