It would be useful to be able to put a table of contents with clickable links to the headers at the top of a document. This is esp. useful if the file is exported to a PDF. The easy way to do that would be to be able to type [toc] and get a table of contents rendered in Preview.

I’d like to see this this as well, was chasing this ability earlier day. Found a partial solution, however, it’s still not quite perfect.
