It's starting to. I'm not sure this will work book-wide, though; you'll have
to try it. But it should get you started:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set find preferences to nothing
set change preferences to nothing
set find preferences to {applied paragraph style:paragraph style "Heading
1" of document 1}
tell document 1
set theRefs to search
repeat with i from 1 to count of theRefs
make hyperlink text destination with properties {destination text:item i
of theRefs, name:"Heading " & i}
end repeat
end tell
end tell
