Can I reduce the clutter stickies app leaves in macOS 11.4 Apple menu > Recent Items?

So, I am ancient, and I still use Stickies Running macOS Big Sur 11.4. I use the app a lot. It's pretty clutch for me for a large number of reasons. One annoyance that has shown up recently: Every time I launch Stickies, it clutters my Apple Menu's Recent Documents list with a .rtfd file for each individual sticky note. Ack!!! I have a lot of sticky notes, so this has effectively rendered my **** > **Recent Documents** list completely useless. (I *can* set it to show a lot of documents and then scroll down past all the .rtfd files, but this is super inefficient on my laptop.) I've tried looking into using a script to muck around with the contents of ~/Library/appsupport/com.apple.sharedfilelist/*.sfl2, but unfortunately it's become readily apparent that these files are not easily modifiable using text-editing or anything like that. /usr/bin/sfltool looked promising, but apparently, Apple took out a lot of the functionality that was present in prior macOS versions I am open to any suggestions on continuing to use Stickies.app but preventing it from populating/cluttering my **** > **Recent Documents** menu. I want that for other recent documents exclusively. Can I deny Stickies.app permission to populate the recent documents list somehow, without affecting other app document’s arrival to the menu?
