If you have to edit it - just convert it back to morph, edit the geometra and save it as library-part wit a new name.
The wire-mesh in your picture seems to be morph-lines? That wont be renderd-if this is your intention. Instead of using morphlines, it would be much easier to use png's with alpha channel for correct displaying in 3D-Renderings. But You would have to create the pictures for it before and attach it to a new created texture. In the austrian AC20 library there are some examples of this materials but i think in your language-version it should be to find too.
In 2D-section and views the created texture should get a hatch instead.

Is there an object that I am overlooking or not thinking about that will achieve this wire mesh railing? Currently I am using morphs... However with this being a large project, I feel that several of these morphs may become a problem once I get deeper into it.
I have used lots of things to model hog wire and/or wire railings. Even custom windows.

as with everything you model in ArchiCAD is depends on what you need it to do. Schedules, Rendering, Plan view....
I have used walls several times.

If it is just for a rendering then you can use a solid wall with a material added that has a texture or the wire attached - the texture has an alpha channel for the holes which makes them transparent.
Here is a post that mentions a couple of these methods.
The links to the objects don't work any more but they must be something around still - BIMComponents maybe.
You will find more if you search for "wire AND fence".
I believe there are surfaces already for Cinerender that have the alpha channels that come default with Archicad and more if you have access to the additional surface catalogue (if you have a select agreement).
Sorry I don't have time to search through more posts at the moment but there are a few post out there with various methods.
