You can create the table of contents based on TC fields. Select each piece
of text to include and then press Alt+Shift+O. If necessary, modify the text
to display in the TOC and then specify the desired level. Click OK to insert
the TC field. (Note that the TC fields are formatted as hidden, so you
can't see them in the document unless you display hidden text).

To insert a TOC based on TC fields, do this: On the References tab, Table of
Contents, and then click Insert Table of Contents. Click Options. Clear the
"Styles" option, clear "Outline levels," and make sure to select "Table
entry fields." Click OK, OK.

FWIW, if I apply heading styles (or presumably any style with an outline
level) to text in table cells, I get a perfect TOC without need to use TC
fields. The heading styles don't have to be formatted to look like headings.

Yes, of course, each cell can have its own style. I should have mentioned
that in my previous message. Thanks for clarifying!

Also, if a style has been inadvertently applied to an entire row (which can
happen, for example if you are using Alt+Shift+Left/Right arrow or the
Outline Level control in Outline view), you can fix that by applying a
different (non-heading) one. For example, you can use Ctrl+Shift+N for the
Normal style.
