Power BI interprets time in units of days, so you might be able to just multiply by the number of minutes in a day (24 hr/day * 60 min/hr = 1440 min/day).
I'm not sure if the conversion to decimal will fold but it's worth a try.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjCwMjWxMjTUMzI2MFGK1QGKGFoZGVkZmEJFYgE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [current = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"current", type time}}),
ToDecimal = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type",{{"current", type number}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(ToDecimal, "Minutes", each [current]*24*60, type number)
in
#"Added Custom"
