Wire Model on Custom Field Class Variable

Maybe a silly question, but when I'm building a custom field, is there any way to use wire:model on a public variable from the custom field class? The input I'm using it on isn't the field I want to bind to the main field value. It's for additional functionality of searching an external API. Right now if I try to use wire:model on a public variable in the custom field class I get an error because it's looking for that variable on the pages.create class.
