My concern with chopping the power cord and connecting it this way would void the UL/CSA/CE listing. Just about anything that uses electricity must have these listings to be sold in the US and Canada. By altering the factory assembly, you would be voiding the warranty AND violating UL/CSA requirements.

Leviton does make a wall phone jack that was designed for this purpose, but it was made to be used with cordless phones. I don't know if it would work for this application or not unless they've come out with an 8P/8C version.
