When opening quick access on Windows there is still no option to fill an app and dragging and dropping from there does nothing. 1Password obviously has the ability to auto-type this information as it...

It's great that you found a workaround that you're happy with,
No, I'm not using any workaround. I investigated the tools I was given, and I'm just using these tools in a way it's genuinely best for the given task.
As far as I see it, you've lost yourself in a death spiral of "it's so awful to work with, and it gets even more awful the more I think about it". Take a fresh, a different approach. Free yourself. Forget what you've done before, because it's clearly not working for you. So why do you insist on it? I also don't know why you deny drag+drop. Give it a chance.
The key to efficient work with quick access is really just ctrl-o and drag+drop. If your search results in a large result set, use the cursor keys (up+down) to scroll and find the entry you're actually looking for. While browsing, you can use cursor-right to "half open" an entry if you consider it as result, and cursor-left to get back to the result list. All this enables me a lighting fast way to work through a bigger result set.
An additional thing to remember is proper item naming. Find, choose and remember unique descriptions, so you need to type just a few characters to directly find an entry - like my "epi" example for "Epic Game Store".
In the end, you need to realize that you need to adapt to the workflow the app (1Password) is offering. You will not be able to force your personal workflow on the app, if it differs from the intended workflow. If you're unable to adapt, I recommend you're looking for a different password manager product, because if you don't do this, you will just get frustrated and more frustrated. 1Password is too polite to tell, but I'm just some forum user who is able to tell you this truth.
