How to protect parts of a text against changes?

Found a solution. Instead of Hyperlinks, I use MergeFields.

I have a text which contains sections that must not be changed by the user.

Innenputz 2lagig Leibung B 24 cm UP Kalkzement-Putzm. D 20mm OP Kalkzement-Putzm. gefilzt

2-lagiges Innenputzsystem DIN 18550-2 auf Leibung, Breite Leibung '24' cm, Putzgrund Mauerwerk, Unterputz DIN EN 998-1 aus Kalkzement-Putzmörtel, Druckfestigkeitsklasse CS II (1,5 bis 5 N/mm2), Dicke Unterputz 20 mm, Oberputz aus Kalkzement-Putzmörtel, Putzoberfläche Qualitätsstufe 2 (Q2), gefilzt, übliche Beanspruchung, Arbeitshöhe der zu bearbeitenden oder zu bekleidenden Fläche bis 3,5 m über der Standfläche des hierfür erforderlichen Gerüstes, Ausführung im Erdgeschoss.

The highlighted text Breite Leibung '24' must not be changed.

I tried par.CharAttrModify( WPAT_ParProtected, 1, wpSetValue, startPos, posLen ); - But this doesn't work because CharAttrModify allows only a small set of WPAT_Code to be modified.

How can I protected parts of a text?

Edit:

During the creation of the document, the highlighted text is later converted to a hyperlink with the following code:

textObj := WP.TextObjects.InsertClass( '', 0, 0, wpobjOpening, par, startPos );
if Assigned( textObj ) then
begin
  textObj._SetObjType( wpobjHyperlink );
  textObj.name := linkName;
  textObj.Source := textObj.name;
  textObj.Mode := textObj.Mode + [ wpobjLockEmbeddedText ]; // Doesn't work either
  
  textObjClosing := WP.TextObjects.InsertClass( '', 0, 0, wpobjClosing, par, endPos );

  if Assigned( textObjClosing ) then
	begin
	  textObjClosing._SetObjType( wpobjHyperlink );
	  textObjClosing.name := textObj.name;
	  textObjClosing.SetTag( textObj.NewTag );
	end;

  Inc( offset );
end;
Inc( offset );

So I tried adding the wpobjLockEmbeddedText option to textObj.Mode - According to the help file wpobjLockEmbeddedText is used to "temporaily used to prohibit changing embedded text." But this doesn't seem to have an effect either.

I saw that the TWPTextObjType which is used in textObj._SetObjType has a wpobjTextProtection - So instead of a wpobjHyperlink text object I tried creating a wpobjTextProtection text object to check if the embedded text inside the text object is protected, but this also doesn't work.

WP.ProtectedProp is set to [ ppParProtect, ppProtected, ppIsHyperlink ] - I was hoping that ppIsHyperlink will protect hyperlinks, but it seems that it will only protect "the hyperlink start or end markers" according to the help file.
