Yes, at lower frequencies the coil stray effects are less important. The stray capacitance effects and the skin effect on resistance are reduced.
I don’t have any references or links handy but you can probably find some good info. by doing a search using “160 meter antenna” or similar keywords. I found a nice technical writeup by a ham who designed a short 160 meter mobile antenna.
If you want to go with a classic dipole, the ARRL Antenna Handbook is a good place to start. A horizontal dipole is affected by the height above the ground and this book has charts describing this.
