New option to have elements behave like acid

Acid is an element that cannot properly be reproduced with Custom Elements, even though there are indeed workarounds, it is admittedly very bulky.
I wonder, is there a way to make a Custom Element "behave like acid", so elements can automatically fall in and be absorbed in said Custom Element like acid?
Just a thought.

The "acid" element sort of violates the "unwritten law" that two elements cannot be at the same tile, in that a movable element can move towards a tile that is already occupied by the "acid" elements (causing the moving element to be absorbed).

That is, the "acid" element is indeed a "special" element with non-standard behaviour, and cannot be emulated using custom elements.

Isn't there another "special" element which can partially behave like empty space or something? I remember there's a Sokoban Field which is "empty" relatively to sokoban object and full sokoban field (and, funny enough, there's a weird way to create more of those "special" elements by a certain glitch I reviewed a while ago, where one of two elements starts behaving just like sokoban field and even becomes one once you push a sokoban object in it)
