Edit: Thanks Alexey Noskov , solved with you.

public static ArrayList<String[]> GetBookLinesByTag(String file) {

    ArrayList<String[]> bookLines = new ArrayList<>();

    try {
        Document doc = new Document(file);
        ParagraphCollection paras = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs();
        for(int i = 0; i < paras.getCount(); i++){
            String styleName = paras.get(i).getParagraphFormat().getStyleName().trim();
            String isStyleSeparator = Integer.toString(paras.get(i).getBreakIsStyleSeparator() ? 1 : 0);
            String content = paras.get(i).toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();

            for (Field field : paras.get(i).getRange().getFields()) {
                if (field.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_HYPERLINK) {
                    FieldHyperlink hyperlink = (FieldHyperlink) field;
                    String urlId = hyperlink.getSubAddress();
                    String urlText = hyperlink.getResult();
                    // Reformat linked text: urlText:urlId 
                    content = urlText + ":" + urlId;
                }
            }

            bookLines.add(new String[]{content, styleName, isStyleSeparator});
        }

    } catch (Exception e){}

Hyperlinks in MS Word documents are represented as fields. If you press Alt+F9 in MS Word you will see something like this

{ HYPERLINK "https://aspose.com" }

Follow the link to learn more about fields in Aspose.Words document model and in MS Word. https://docs.aspose.com/display/wordsjava/Introduction+to+Fields

In your case you need to locate position of FieldStart – this will be the start position, then measure length of content between FieldSeparator and FieldEnd – start position plus the calculated length will the end position.
