How to make the paragraph style in the tailoring position build a ToC

If I understand well your question, you want to build a ToC (table of contents):

Yes, of course, TOC.
What I ask is how to put the paragraph style of the tailoring position Build a TOC

[James Gifford—NitroPress]

In general, paragraphs have to be part of a text flow to make an orderly TOC.  You can place that label frame outside the page area and assign it a paragraph style, and then use that paragraph style as a TOC element, but you may have trouble getting consistent, accurate page references because of the way InDesign orders its content.

Putting it in the tailoring position, this function is very useful.
I hope Adobe will improve in the future.

While there are sometimes reasons to put "hidden" TOC, index and cross-reference text in a document, I am not clear why a shadow TOC anchor is needed when the Chapter heading contains the same text and would be the natural marker to capture for the TOC. This seems like a case of using a convoluted layout and workflow in place of a very standard and reliable one.

Everything is to reduce the workload

Okay. I can't quite envision how mirroring the content into hidden elements and then bending the configuration to accommodate the shadow content reduces or simplifies anything, but it's your project and workflow.

Maybe this workaround can help you: If you extend the text frame of the frame so that it overlaps with the page, it will be included in the TOC.
