Actually, it's quite easy, via Edit|Hyperlink or via Alt-F9 (to expose the field codes) and editing in the document directly, then pressing Alt-F9 again to restore the display, followed by F9 to update the link.

Other than that, you'd need to embed the relevant portion of the sound file in the document or devise a means of using a macro to pass the relevant parameters to the music player as command-line parameters.
