Why do you want this?  I use a different Heading style for my Preface, 
for example, that has no numbering and chapter headings from then on.  
I set up my TOC (the only place it seems essential) using the different 
style and set for the same "level" in printing.  The unique heading is 
"linked with" Heading 1 so the same format options appear in all 
headings.  Do the same for the Appendices.
