If you aren't using autonumbering for the chapter title, then you can put XX-XX-XX in the autonumbering text and set it to a white character format. Then, if the TOC reference pages specify to include <$paranum> in the TOC entry, the autonumber will show up in the TOC.
P.S. I've confirmed Fred Ridder's observation that, even though you can include the footer paragraph tag in the TOC, this won't add the footer text to the TOC.
