Sorry for the wrong texts... I'm using OOo in spanish, so I don't know how
they appear in English   :)

Oh, good idea. I was in a hurry the last time I created a TOC, that I didn't
even try to change that.

By default, the different levels of the TOC "outline" come from the default
styles like "Heading 1", "Heading 2", etc.  Each of them appear as an
"outline level". But you can define that a different style also appears on
the TOC (right-click in the TOC and then click on "Edit Index/table". On tab
"index", "other styles" checkbox, click the "..." button at the right)

If you put that new style at level 1, it shows just like a "heading 1" text
in the TOC, but it isn't a "hiperlink".

There is a workarround that implies adding that style to a "non used"
chapter outline level. You need to go to "Tools/Chapter numbering" or
"Tools/Outline numbering" or some thing like that  (in spanish is:
Herramientas/Numeración de Capítulos")

It's kind of awkward, but very versatile. There are two main problems as
"osavill" said in the issue 3356:

1) With enough additional style you could run out of Outline levels being as
there are only 10.
2) It is not made at all clear that this is what you have to do.

hmmm.... didn't quite understood this. Did you add the "references" style
thrue the "other styles" checkbox? Maybe it's that.
