Hello, I have a museum installation where I need the Witty Pi to power up and down a Pi showing content. I ALSO need to have the Pis on 18650-based uninterruptible power supplies. Is there a wiring diagram that shows how to connect a UPS to a Pi that's already wearing a Witty Pi 4 hat?

If you don't have a UPS yet, maybe you can consider using Witty Pi 4 L3V7. With a 18650 battery it can work as a UPS.

If you want to use Witty Pi 4 with your own UPS, I could not suggest the wiring, because I don't know about your UPS. What Witty Pi 4 needs is an uninterrupted power source, either 5V via USB-C connector, or higher voltage via the XH2.54 connector. If your UPS can offer that, Witty Pi 4 will work.
