Is there a way to pay a bolt12 invoice from a wallet that doesn't support bolt12, by converting it to a normal (one-time) LN invoice using an external tool?

BOLT 12 vs LNURL

The main differences are: 

1. lnurl requires a web server to be running at a publicly accessible endpoint that can request invoices from your node
    - because a web server is already running, it’s trivial to do nice things like Lightning addresses  
2. bolt12 just requires a bolt12 supporting lightning node to be running and the payer to be able to pay bolt12 invoices
    - Bolt12 also has a bunch of other nice features like subscriptions and better receiver privacy.
