Upgrade StorageProper fields to use for web archive information
I tried looking, but I couldn't find anything definitive.
In several bibliography styles, for electronic sources such as web page, blog post, etc. it is required to have both the URL indicating the source as well as a permanent archive location to prevent link rot.
For example,
Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (McGill Guide) section 6.18 has the following examples:
websites:
Author, | “title of the page/article” | (date of the page/article) | pinpoint, | online | (type of electronic source) | : | | [archived URL].
Julia Hugendubel, “Blockchain Technology and Intellectual Property — A Basic Introduction” (31 August 2021), online: [perma.cc/D3LU-L26L].
Blog post:
Michael Geist, “Posner on Copyright: Restrictive Fair Use a Risk to Creativity” (2 October 2012), online (blog): [perma.cc/9RQ9-BSEF]
The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (https://www.legalbluebook.com/) is very similar to the McGill guide but with the original full URL and the archive link.
The Chicago Manual of Style 14.104 is similar but with different options depending on the archive tool.

I want to keep my Zotero database clean and not have weird workarounds for specific publication requirements so I don't have to edit the raw data for the next project.
I'd rather just edit another CSL file.
It seems that for most of the entry types, I would use the "Archive" field to hold the archive (e.g. perma.cc or archive.org) and the "Loc. in Archive" for the archive URL (e.g. perma.cc/9RQ9-BSEF). The standard URL field would hold the original URL. This should allow me to to format a bibliography in any of the above styles without changing data in Zotero. I'd need the two fields to handle the Chicago style since it treats archive.org and perma.cc differently. (Also, I may have entries where the archive is an actual box in a specific storage area so I could use the same fields in the same semantic way, but the CSL would just ignore it.)
What isn't super clear to me is how I enter this information for the Item Types that don't display these two fields. Is this the case where I put this information in the extra field such as "archive: perma.cc"? What is the type that maps to "Loc. in Archive"? Is it "archiveLocation" or "archive_location"?
