in my book project, I was inspired by fantastic table of contents display as a mindmap, posted as answer in this question:
Visual table of contents using tikz mindmap or similar
but in my case, the mind map is pretty big and I would like, at least try to, make it span over two A4 pages. For that, I happen to find solution of Mr. Scharrer in answer to this question:
How to include a picture over two pages, left part on left side, right on right (for books)?
However, simple applying mind map code into the command for two page picture led to non-coherent behaviour of the mindmap (even side wasnt fully rendered). I decided to try to generate the table of contents outside of the main document, then include it as a .pdf as stated in solution of second question.
For that, I found a solution from Mr. Oberdiek, using zref package:
but I am having trouble to generate exported table of contents in other format than default one. And TikZ mind-map format is desired.
What have I got until now:

I am sorry for this not being an short MWE (not even short question), but I think its a pretty complex one.
I would like to ask, how to put this formatting information (commands \etocsetstyle) into toc extraction procedure in order to produce table of contents as a mind map. Ideally with hyperlinks preserved (but not necessary). Any help would be very much appreciated, even as a nudge which part of documentation read, since I wasnt able to find solution anywhere.
With hope that someone will take interest in this, regards
Tomáš Kruliš
