Thanks @BetterRed! Perfect!
Another advantage to the .LNK file I just found is that it opens the folder containing the MP3 files when I click LNK in Calibre, which is what I want. Clicking the M3U from Calibre on my system doesn't do anything. And I don't use M3U files so easier just to create the links and delete them when added to Calibre.
The only thing is this doesn't work for me:

In calibre select the relevant book and then use Add Books->Add files to selected books - you will need to spin the file type selector to All Files, select the shortcut file you just created and click OK.

I don't have OK, I have Open, and clicking that follows the link into the folder that the shortcut is pointing to. But I found a workaround... I can drag and drop the shortcuts into Calibre en mass and then go through and Alt-Shift-M merge each one with the existing book record. This will be faster, I think.
Distributed Link service is running on my system.
I've been wanting to do this for a long time!
