I think a good solution might be to host the archive version yourself (archive.org is slow, and always using it centralizes everything there). Let's say you write an article on your site, https://yoursite.com/my-article https://yoursite.com/my-article, and from it you want to link to an article https://example.com/some-article https://example.com/some-article You then create a mirror of https://example.com/some-article https://example.com/some-article to be served from your site at https://yoursite.com/mirror/2019-09-08/some-article https://yoursite.com/mirror/2019-09-08/some-article (put /mirror/ in robots.txt and set to noindex (or maybe even better to put a rel="canonical" towards the original article?)) and on the top of this mirrored page you add a header bar thingy containing a link to the original article, as well as one to archive.org if you so want. tl;dr instead of linking to https://example.com/some-article https://example.com/some-article you link to https://yoursite.com/mirror/2019-09-08/some-article https://yoursite.com/mirror/2019-09-08/some-article (which has links to the original)
