Okay, ended up finding a solution for this.

Provided you have registered your application with Azure AD (as a Web App / Web API, not a Native Application), you will receive a client ID and a secret key for that application.

The code to acquire the token without having a pop-up window is as follows:

AuthenticationParameters ap = AuthenticationParameters.CreateFromResourceUrlAsync(
                        new Uri(resource+"/api/data/v8.1")).Result;

AuthenticationContext ac = new AuthenticationContext(ap.Authority);

AuthenticationResult r = await ac.AcquireTokenAsync(ap.Resource, new ClientCredential(clientId,clientSecret));

resource is the base URL of your Dynamics CRM deployment.

Authentication parameters are discovered at run time as suggested in this MSDN acticle.
