@David: if you use an empty hidden opening, how would the plan display the window that is located on the floor above? That part I don't get.
That advice was for users who don't need or want to see the window on both stories, so not applicable in your case.

Can you illustrate what it looks like in plan view on the two different floors? In my example, the ground floor (story 0) displays the empty opening in 2D (with reveal) and not the window frame, as this is only visible on the story above.
You already have the solution to showing the window on both stories:

It works better if you have a single wall that extends over the two stories.
Make a two story wall, change the Wall's Show on Stories to: All Relevant Stories, then adjust the Floor Plan Cut Plan on each story to cut through the window.
