The alternative would have to be a phrase rather than a single word, because THIS is not a noun. Example:
This matter is important. The matter in question ( in hand ) is important.
This is urgent. What I said is important.

When I studied English grammar years ago, we were forbidden to use "this". Not because it was wrong, but because it tended to make us write better. It was good training.
I nearly always found that "that" fitted just as well, and it reads better, too. Try it!

Need to know what is being talked about, but possibly try 'Such or Suchlike'........difficult to answer, good luck!!
