If the issue is [[UID]] links, I can recommend sublimeless_zk or Obsidian with Front Matter Title plugin.

Or Zettlr.
Or logseq
Yes; I've actually switched over to Logseq now and am really liking it.
According to Sascha and Christian's comments on the forum, there are no plans.
Check the links below.

Now that Christian has a baby, their plans may be delayed further.

Check out the discussion below about alternatives to The Archive.

If you are software agnostic, one option is to use the Windows' own functions: Notepad.
You can use Notepad + AstroGrep.
Changing the font in Notepad improves readability. (examples: Consolas, Source Code Pro, etc.)
AstroGrep can do full-text searches. You can use it like The Archive by switching to the AstroGrep screen pressing Alt + Tab in Notepad and then pressing Ctrl + F to paste the UID.
You can also copy the list searched in AstroGrep. (You know, copying the list is not possible in Windows Explorer.) Using This, you can easily create a structure note. Check this link for how to create a Structure Note: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/zk-live-episode-4-structure/
P.S.
I'm using Gnome Shell on Fedora Linux for Zettelkasten. Very convenient.
The title of this thread should be changed to "Windows-debased version of The Archive." I like Zettlr, though the Sirens of Brain Prosthesis call again...

I like Zettlr too, but the plug for stopping the dancing text is insufficient for me. Besides, more themes.
So 1,2, and 3...
