Non-standard ToC

[st]

Is there an automated way to build Table of Contents, if used headers are actually the first words of body text with specific character style applied?

(like:
*First chapter header text.* First chapter article
text. First chapter arcticle text. First chapter arti- ...etc.)

No, a TOC can't be based on character styles. But see
