With a swimmer that is using a rather straight arm pull, at least to the point where the hand is under the shoulder/the arm is vertical, what sorts of drills or focus points will help them move to/practice more of a high elbow/bent elbow style beyond just explaining/showing them the high elbow pull?

you are championing that a straight arm movement throughout the entirety of overarm recovery is not a) inefficient, b) generally accepted as bad form, and c) really bad for your shoulder? i'd like to hear your logic on that one.
The current men's world record holders in the 50 and 100 freestyle short course and long course do it.
