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?

Use a natural straight arm recovery, lots of roll, throw the hand like a weight, drive, the entry. My shoulders feel much better than from when doing high elbow. Also didn't hurt my times.
Some tout it as the progressive way and call "high elbow" dated.
Use what works for you but don't shut anything off.
