 * My users are submitting news stories in a ACF field group that includes a link.
   I’d like the fields to link directly to their link. How can I make that happen?

 * The simplest method would be to use the output filter to modify what the plugin
   outputs, so it uses the meta field as the URL ([example of output filter](http://www.billerickson.net/code/add-time-to-display-posts-shortcode/)).
 * Another option would be to write custom code that filters the permalinks in WordPress
   itself to use your meta field if it’s present. This is how [Page Links To](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/)
   works (here’s the [filters they use](https://github.com/markjaquith/page-links-to/blob/master/page-links-to.php#L67-L70)).
