How to add Windows metadata to a text file programmatically with Delphi?

In Windows Explorer, I have an .URL file and open its Properties dialog, where on the Details page (I suppose it's named "Details" also in English) I enter text in the Description and Notes metadata fields:

User generated image
Unfortunately, when clicking OK an error message is displayed. Is it not possible to add metadata to an .URL.file (which is a simple text file)?

My Question is: How can I add the metadata shown in the screenshot above to a file programmatically with Delphi? (Delphi 10 Seattle).
