Any other way to go about this?

I would really like to be able to download the ebook from a URLLink.acsm file and just transfer it to the eReader so I can avoid the need to use ADE in wine to manage it all.

I know I can just strip the DRM but I'd prefer not to as these are loaned books.

edit: Apologies for this post _and_ a post in the calibre forum. When I posted this is just went blank so I assumed there was something wrong with the thread. It was only after posting in the general calibre forum that I received a message to say the post will appear after approval by moderators.
You cannot do this on a Kobo. But what you can do is use calibre and the ACSM Input Plugin and that will pull down the ePub from the ACSM file directly into calibre. And if you also have the DeDRM plugin installed and correctly configured, DRM will be automatically removed.

When you download library eBooks, you could disable DeDRM download them, and then enable DeDRM.
