This Keyboard Maestro macro can be used in The Archive to place a link by typing [[. You'll be presented with a type-ahead search of your entire ZK. Once a note is selected, the macro will produce and paste a link. Depending on how your links are formed and what file extension you use, you may want to tweak this a little. Directions included.

This GIF shows the macro in action. The macro pastes the link in place with two [ and selection from the search list.

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

    Thanks @Will - works like a charm! (All I did was change the path to my ZK). Cheers!
