Default How to use alternate text in table of contents

Hello, I've created a table of contents for a research paper. The research paper is required to use APA formatting. For the most part it works well once I've customized the styling of the headings and the table of contents itself.

However, APA specifies the main body of the paper (ie where the introduction starts) should start out with the title of the paper, not the text "Introduction". The text "Introduction" does not actually exist anywhere on the page where the introduction lives. Therefore, the table of content uses the entire title of the paper instead of just the text "Introduction". I can manually modify the table of contents to fix this but each time I use the "Update Field" option on the table of contents, it reverts to the entire title and must be manually fixed again.

Is there a way to provide some sort of alt text for headings so that the alt text is displayed in the table of contents instead of the heading text itself?
