My guess from your description is that the user selects a range of

Yup.  That nailed it.


If what I said matches what you are thinking, you can get the
selection range and search the selection for custom objects of the
type you are looking for and call a method on that object to
update its data and then mark the paragraph as dirty and then
call update.
Will this mean that I'll have to subclass the FormattedText control to override the existing functionality or is there some pre-existing hook for this?
