Is it possible to replace “that that” with “which that”?
I haven’t been able to figure out a distinction between “that that” and “which that.” Do you get hardware warnings? I’ve always been a bit troubled by the double-that, and I know that some spelling checkers object, but as far as I can recall none of them has ever recommended “which that”.

We have the subordinating that (“I know that this is the answer. I understand it.” When “That is not the answer. That is not a demonstrative pronoun.” is doubled up with a demonstrative pronoun that (“That is not the answer. ” “) and an adjectival that (“That answer is not it.”).
Depending on the exact sentence you can often replace the subordinating that, but not always with “which”
This is the first hit I used for verification

And at the bottom:
He assured me that that was his destination, so I jumped in.
In
my parents’ experience I would not necessarily choose this girl for the rest of my life. And: And As I grow up I would know the person I am supposed to be with for a long time to come.
In none of those cases is replacing by “which that” valid!
which may occur as an accidental collocation (“the toy that child holds is made of wood”), but for what you probably mean you want it the other way round: that which..
Your first that is a demonstrative pronoun and remains the same. Only second is a relative pronoun that can be replaced (and in my opinion should be replaced) with which.
