Expand all table of contents?

Is there a way to expand all the table of contents in the eBook reader?

When I'm reading a magazine like The Economist, for example, I like to expand all the articles so I can scan the whole thing and jump around to what I want. If not this would be a useful feature.

The entire list of articles is present in the comment metadata, click the button with the blue i on it in the viewer.

That shows all the articles but they aren't clickable. I still have to expand all the TOC's to try to locate the article from the comment metadata (and the headers aren't in there) to click on it to get there.

Also, I'm assuming this solution is specific to this recipe. In other magazines or books I think it'd be useful to expand the whole TOC at once, too. Perhaps a shift+click to expand all.

You dont need to expand, you can search. Ctrl-click will not do what you want since there is no root node. Which means there would need ot be some dedicated UI for it, and that seems like overkill.
