在目录中添加多列

Question

是否可以将多列环境中的节/小节的列添加到目录中？

目前的目录如下

1. Headline 1 ......... 1 % Shows only the page
2. Headline 2 ......... 1
3. Headline 3 ......... 1

但我希望它看起来像这样

1. Headline 1 ......... 1.1 % <page>.<column>
2. Headline 2 ......... 1.3
3. Headline 3 ......... 1.5

这是一个最小的例子，需要进行扩展：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper, landscape, margin=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} 
\usepackage{multicol}

\begin{document}
\begin{multicols*}{5}

\tableofcontents
\section{Headline 1}
\lipsum[1-3]

\section{Headline 2}
\lipsum[4-6]

\section{Headline 3}
\end{multicols*}

\end{document}

Answer 1

下面的代码可以满足您的要求。需要运行几次（3）才能显示所有正确信息。该选项colaction对于命令\docolaction和补丁的运行必不可少。
