It's just a project I've been way from for awhile. I was excited to return but ran into this problem.

It's a long story as to why I don't store the zips. Not worth going through here. I promise it's more efficient in the end and has storage limitations (even though I do often try to go back how I can do it in Calibre, it still comes back to not being the best method for me).
The change was made in version v5.8 which was released on Dec 24 2020, and documented here calibre - What's new

I'd stopped using .LNK files long before that so I would have seen it and shrugged. Given it was almost two years ago I wonder if you and I were the only people who ever put .LNK files to productive use.

My suggestion about changing the .LNKs to .MYLNKs was tongue in cheek. If you want to persist with .LNK files it would may be easer to create empty books and cut and paste the .LNK files into the empty books - but I think it would have to be one at a time.

I have set a keyboard shortcut for Add Books->Add files to selected book records from clipboard of Shift+Alt+V. I use it most days of the week.
