In case anyone is interested, I got my ADT-link DP adapters today. Haven't made any attempt at mounting them at the back of the case yet, but so far the fit seems perfect for what I want. 15cm/150mm cable length seems near perfect for routing out the display cable cutout. I don't have a DP 1.4 monitor to test with, so I can't vouch for these actually meeting the spec, but at least they're supposed to.
As you can probably tell, 10cm would cause some uncomfortably tight bends, and 20cm would make a mess, so I lucked out on my guesstimated necessary length for these. Quality, as always with ADT-link, is excellent. The visible soldering on the tiny DP cables is a bit uneven, but looks solid and clearly isn't shorting out or causing issues. Honestly I can't imagine perfect soldering to really be possible on this scale.
Bought the cables from AliExpress, this listing (not the official ADT-link store AFAIK - I think that's this store, but for some reason they didn't have the DP 1.4 version listed). The specific type of cable is the P6A-P8T-BU (blue cable) - this should be the correct orientation for a GPU DP connector in the Meshlicious. Only the blue cable version is DP 1.4 compatible. The P5A version (straight connector) will likely work as well, though the bend at the bottom might be uncomfortably tight. These cables have zero strain relief after all. P7A will angle the cable towards the PSU/motherboard tray, and likely won't fit. Shipping was pretty slow to Sweden - I got a notification a few days after my purchase that shipping would be delayed with an estimated arrival in September(!), which was rather odd given that it hadn't shipped yet. Thankfully it arrived after about a month and a week rather than three months. Still slow though. Nonetheless highly recommended - a cheap and relatively future-proof solution to connector length issues. Now to figure out how to make a plate to hold the rear connectors without access to a 3D printer.
