Well... I thought this might be too simple an approach: the protocol
handler for loop: expects the file to be available over http, not a
local file :-(.

If you had a web server somewhere which could serve up the file. You
could even use LMS to do so, but would probably have to put the file
back in place after updates (depends on the installation). Or you could
write your own little plugin to serve that file from within LMS? Or
write another protocol handler to handle a "localloop:" protocol.

That's a few options you have in increasing effort order :-).
