Maybe I don't fully understand your use case, but why not use a separate
page for each slide? You can show full screen with the pageindex along the
side - at least in zim > 0.70 .

If that doesn't work. Instead of changing the behavior of the ToC you
probably just want a new plugin that looks like the distraction free mode
but has some presenting controls.
