You can do something similar with the Bookmarks function in Acrobat.
In essence:
1 create the document in InDesign, using Para styles for the headers/subheaders
2 export to PDF, with “create tagged PDF” selected
3 open in Acrobat and use the Bookmarks panel “new bookmarks from structure”

Then the sidebar of the PDF contains the list of headings=bookmarks, and clicking a bookmark displays the relevant page.

It’s been a long time since I did it for real, but I just tested the basic steps successfully with CS6 and Acrobat 9.
Good luck,
Chris
