For example, if you're using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), you can access fields from option pages, user profiles, terms, comments, and menus. You can refer to the [documentation](https://docs.acfviews.com/getting-started/supported-data-vendors) for the specific list of supported field sources for your meta vendor. = Can I display fields inside the Gutenberg Query Loop? = You can use the View shortcode inside the Gutenberg Query Loop element.
