Lenovo ThinkPad Onelink Pro Dock to USB c
Short answer: no
Longer answer: probably not. Type C is a very complicated connector with an even more complicated protocol making it work. I'm not familiar with that particular dock, but I can almost guarantee Lenovo didn't implement a type-c standard into a non standard connector. If they did, they would have just used the type-c connector. This leads me to believe they developed their own communication protocol for the various interfaces broken out on that dock. Best case scenario you might be able to get power and maybe USB 2.0 through a type C cable you hack off and solder in place of that yellow guy, but first you'd need a pinout and good luck finding that. This is also assuming they ran normal D+ and D- lines in that connector instead of encoding the signals in some proprietary protocol. Sorry to poo on your idea, but I don't think it's possible. If it is possible, it's not worth your time given how inexpensive thunderbolt 3 docks have gotten.
