Table of Contents with hyperlinks?

Question

Is there a way to get table of contents I can click on?

I'm looking for something like Table of Contents module in Jupyter notebooks where I can jump between sections easily, here's what my scratch-space usually looks like

AFAIK there's nothing built-in.

On the other hand I use this sort-of functionality all the time. Here's a quick way to generate a table of contents palette:

nbTOC[nb_] :=
  Button[
      Mouseover[#, Style[#, "HyperlinkActive"]] &@First@NotebookRead@#,
      SelectionMove[#, All, CellContents],
      Appearance -> None,
      BaseStyle -> "Hyperlink",
      Alignment -> Left,
      ImageSize -> 100
      ] & /@

    Cells[CellStyle -> {"Title", "Chapter", "Section", "Subsection", 
       "Subsubsection"}] // CreatePalette[
     Panel[
      Column[#,
       Dividers -> Center],
      ImageSize -> 100
      ],
     FrontEnd`ClosingSaveDialog -> False,
     WindowTitle -> "Table of Contents",
     Magnification -> 1.5
     ] &;
nbTOC[Optional[Automatic, Automatic]] :=
 nbTOC@EvaluationNotebook[]

It assumes you just want to navigate to the "Title", "Chapter", "Section",etc. cells and that the CellObject available at the time the palette was generated will still exist.

The other way I've done this is, at click time, searched for a cell with the same contents and style as the original cell in the notebook. That way it'll work even after the notebook has been closed and reopened.
