This can already be done. You have to cleverly customise your paragraph styles
and cheat a bit.

The Heading 1 is entered before the chapter TOC to create context. It is
formatted as Contents 1 (but take care about tabs because you can't, or rather
shouldn't, insert a page number because it would mess up the rest of the
layout).

The chapter TOC is inserted using Additional styles so that you exclude Heading
1 which is just above the chapter TOC. You list in these styles all Heading n,
save the level you are in and lower.

I use a new paragraph style Offset Heading 1 which is formatted as the original
Heading 1 so that it looks exactly as a chapter start. It is filled with fields
for chapter number and title. This paragraph style is at Body Text level in
order not to disturb the outline.
