Hello
I want to ask if you can use the number at the beginning of the item to insert text for the text expander and autocomplete section. I searched here on the forum and on youtube but I did not find the answer.
Thank you.

Yes, you can select the popup item by pressing one of the number keys.

Do you need any special settings?
Example Text expander
I will write ,dd (original settings)
a menu of 4 items appears
I want to insert a third item
I type 3 (num keyboard) result ,dd3 and the menu disappears
I write 3 (keyboard text) result ,dd3 and the menu does not disappear

You need to enable selection keys in Preferences/General/Appearance.
