Does the ctrlX support OPC-DA when using the PLC app?

Is far as I know there is no OPC.DA support available or planned in the ctrlX CORE.
We did some tests using a combination of PLC, KVD (for data storage) and Node-RED including a third party palette to get the communication working. There is a restriction that the OPC:DA server PC needs to have Windows XP or Windows 7.
On Windows 10 from a patch version in summer 2023 on it is not longer possible because of Microsoft internal security conventions. This would need a rework of the Node-RED palette what is not in our hands.
Another approach would be to set up a OPC.DA to OPC UA gateway on the server PC with later Windows 7 or Windows 10.
