If I'm reading things correctly, you need a TB3 (using a USB-C connector) to MiniDP adapter. I used the same thing for my '18 Mini, scored them off of Amazon.

I used a pair of these from Cable Creation, $9.99:

CableCreation USB C to Mini DisplayPort 4K@60Hz, Type C to Mini DP Adapter (Not Thunderbolt Adapter),Compatible with MacBook Pro 2017,Chromebook Pixel,Surface Book 2,XPS 13,Yoga 920,Aluminum Black

CableCreation USB C to Mini DisplayPort 4K@60Hz, Type C to Mini DP Adapter (Not Thunderbolt Adapter),Compatible with MacBook Pro 2017,Chromebook Pixel,Surface Book 2,XPS 13,Yoga 920,Aluminum Black

Thank you for sharing this - I think apple does this just to sell new monitors -and I paid way to much for my LED cinema - and it is still working beautifully - Hopefully this works!
