In TOC, link to a non-existent item  is not handled properly

A TOC with hyperlinks can point to a non-existent item when-
(a) the user forgets to update the TOC/index after deleting a heading; or 
(b) if he has accidentally changed the heading's style (to "body text" for 
example)

When the user clicks on such an entry in TOC, Writer jumps a couple of lines
downwards. There is no other response, such as an error message appearing in a
dialog or in the status bar. The user is left wondering what happened.

OOo should handle both kinds of error with more user-friendliness.

Suggestions: 
Provide a window with-
1. The error message
2. Option to jump to the location (to re-create the missing heading or to
reapply "heading" style)
3. Option to remove the entry from TOC,

Note that although the target of the hyperlink is missing now, the TOC still has
the (old) page number. This information can be used to jump to an approximate
location where the target was located last. (Of course, if the document is
edited heavily, page numbers in TOC would be wrong; but this facility will help
the user somewhat.)
