The first simple workaround I have found was to manually change names in the story files using Notepad++, however for this method, the above still applies.
Then I found the core issue, which is that these items are not included in the "StoryCreator - Load Me First (Double Click)" scene. It can also be fixed by manually adding them to this scene.
- Create an empty gameobject in "Interactive Items"
- Rename it to the item you desire
- Attach the "Interactive Item" script
- Rename it inside the script and check the "Enable Item Functions" box
- In something like notepad++ find the appropriate ID for the item in the original story file and save it
- Replace the generated ID by the ID you found whenever you refer to the item (using n++ in the appropriate story
