In Linux at least, @url file:///path/to/MyCV.docx does what you'd expect (opens MyCV.docx in OpenOffice). I think it relies on `xdg-open`. It doesn't go further with parameters in child nodes though.

The potential downsides for this approach have been discussed regularly on the inkscape dev. mailing list. Biggest I think is the concern that people feel less inclined to do things for free when others are being paid to do the same thing. Not saying that that would be the case, just that that would be a concern. Also I think it would be a ton of work to manage. I suppose you could try such a thing as an experiment on one of the sites you mention just setting a bounty on a particular feature to see what happens.
