Unfortunately, GA4 does not currently offer a built-in function to help differentiate between internal and external traffic without completely filtering out either one. However, you have the right idea by thinking of adding a parameter to identify the traffic type through Google Tag Manager. This is a common and widely used solution for this… Read more

No, you cannot link two different BigQuery projects from the same GA4 property. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) allows for a single link between a GA4 property and a BigQuery project.

Unfortunately without the detailed knowledge on both Lookerstudio and your specific dataset, it’s a bit challenging to point you precisely to the correct field.
