Homepage Titles Link to External URL

Hi, I'm creating a content/link aggregation site with GP and I'm using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) to populate some data.
I'm having trouble with getting the Homepage/Archive page entry titles to link to an external URL that is provided via an ACF.
I am aware of the “Link” post format - I've tried it and it works, however, the blog posts will not have any content - therefore I'd prefer to use custom fields if possible?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You would likely need to use the post_link filter provided by WP.
Something like...
add_filter( 'post_link, function( $permalink, $post ) {
$custom_field = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_your_custom_field_name', true );
if ( $custom_field ) {
$permalink = $custom_field;
}
return $permalink;
}, 10, 2 );
