Following the example in this issue:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/291524/inserting-html-tag-with-acf-into-shortcode

I installed the (free) plugin “Code Snippets” on my WordPress.com site:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

I created a new snippet.

The code snippet below creates a new shortcode called “[my_special_link]” that takes two parameters:
1. acf_link_field : the ACF field name you want to call on (assuming it’s a link type field)
2. text_value : the text you want to hyperlink on top of

[my_special_link acf_link_field="example_page_link" text_value="Whatever I want"]

This adds the text “Whatever I want” to the page and hyperlinks it to the ACF field link at field=example_page_link.

You could adapt this code to chain together however many ACF fields you wanted.

. . .

Title: ACF Link Field PLUS Text Value

Code:

<?php 
function my_shortcode( $atts ) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'acf_link_field' => '', // Default value.
    	'text_value' => '', // Default value.
	), $atts );

    $output = '[acf field=' . $atts['acf_link_field'] . ']' ;
    $output = do_shortcode( $output );
    $output = '<a href="' . $output . '">' . $atts['text_value'] . '</a>';
    return $output;
}

add_shortcode('my_special_link', 'my_shortcode');
