Yes, you can set up 2 different paragraph styles, with autonumbering in each set to display the Links/Description text.

Apply those para styles to the heading cells, then update your table style to store the paragraph style pattern.

The table style also stores the pattern of your first body row styles, as well as your footing row styles.

When you say custom shading, are you talking about the Custom Ruling and Shading panel?

To get the heading to format upon insertion, you'll need to define the format using the Table Designer. You'll also want to redefine the CellHeading paragraph format to White before updating the table format so it gets stored with the table format properly.
