Can you copy or move a hyperlink without losing the link

I have a document in Microsoft Word 2013 that has a "table of contents" created but has the Item, then a bunch of tabs and then the Page/Section.  I want to clean it up by putting the information into tables but find that if I create a table and try to copy and paste, or move the wording and link, I lose the link/bookmark. 

Is there a way to maintain the link/bookmark and be able to move it to another area of the document? 

I have also tried to convert the text to table but all of the line goes into one cell.  It appears that whomever created this "table of contents" linked the entire line.

Example:

Item                                                   Page/Section

Cover Sheet                                               i

There are tabs between the Cover Sheet and i.  That entire line is linked to a bookmark in the document.  It works as is, but just want to clean it up.  Any suggestions?
