With or without "the"?

But above all things, she loves what is intangible but is still there -( )time.
Do we need "the" in the parenthesis?

If we used "the" there, which definition of "the" in the link would that use of "the" go to? I thought it goes to the definition 4 (to refer to objects we regard as unique).

It should be 'their,' not 'there,' and you wouldn't use 'the.'

no, 'there' is correct.

But I agree that you don't use 'the'.

I interpreted the dash as a typo (generally, I would have put a space between it and the bracket, too), but if it isn't, you are right.
