Accessibility Improvements: Table of Contents Tags Missing when exporting to PDF

When exporting to PDF from Telerik Report Designer the software creates a list of flat links for each TOC entry, but the links are separated in the structure from the TOC Label. While a good start, it would be better to use a main TOC tag under which each line in the TOC would receive a TOCI (Table of Contents Item) tag. Each TOCI would contain the label and link for the respective item. Attaching a few examples to assist.

<TOC> Table of contents element is an element that contains a structured list of items and labels identifying those items; has its own discrete hierarchy.
<TOCI> Table of contents item element is an item contained in a list associated with a table of contents element.

Thanks, Neli. Further to this item, I realized the Annotation for the TOC link is not being populated with a definition. Normally, this definition would just be the link name repeated from the TOC (e.g., Introduction .... Page 5). If possible, is there a way to automatically populate the annotation for the link such that the name of the link is filled in? If your document is 800 pages long and has a TOC that is many pages, that means you have to manually copy and paste the link name into each Annotation.
