The hypertext marker inserted at the beginning of the TOC paragraphs 
creates a link, but the link area is limited by the change in character 
properties in the TOC entries (whether superscript, subscript or font 
changes) limits the active area. [see some examples at 
http://www.microtype.com/Hmmms.html#0305 ]

If character formats in the TOC cannot be avoided (either retrieved from 
source paragraphs or required by design), I recommend using FrameScript to 
duplicate the hypertext marker present at the beginning of each TOC entry 
for each distinct character format area within that entry (independently of 
whether this property change comes from the TOC specification on the 
Reference page or from the source TOC item).
Such a script can also be extended to deal with other TOC problems.
