Set audio clip to play on click

[nickdc]

LibreOffice version 25.2.6.2(x86_64) on Manjaro Gnome Linux desktop.

New to Impress, which overall I'm finding very impressive!

However, I have two or three short audio clips I want to play while looking at relevant slides. I add a clip through the "Insert > Audio or Video" menu, and having selected the clip in the file browser that opens, a selectable and resizeable audio icon square appears on the slide. But other than resizing I can do nothing with it. If I start the slideshow, the clip starts playing immediately the slide it's on appears. But I don't want that. I want to introduce the clip before I play it, ideally by clicking. I find it extraordinary there's no obvious way to do this - what am I missing?

NB Most of the items that come up in my searches relate to embedded media and/or presentations run on different platforms etc. I'll be running the presentation from this same desktop, which also houses the audio clips. Of course I can just pause the presentation and play the clips, but that seems both clunky in an otherwise sophisticated programme and interrupts the flow of the presentation.

Grateful for any advice.

I seldom use Impress however I think you need to create an Interaction as described in chapter 9.
