In this example, I am querying for headings.
Unfortunately, the heading generated via outline() is being included in the query.
Hence, why one of the chapter titles in the upper right footer says, "Contents".
I was wondering if there's a way to attach custom metadata to elements. This way, when I do the query for headings, I can specify the metadata to just get specific ones I am looking for.

It would be simpler if you made a minimal example that you posted here to illustrate your point

you can't add custom properties, but maybe where(outlined: true) is sufficient?
alternatively, you can insert #metadata(none) <main> and then use after(<main>) in your queries, to filter by location instead of by metadata

Here is the code I have been using for headers:
?r ```
#let last-hd = state("body", [])
#set page(
header: context {
set text(size:12pt,hyphenate:false)
let first-heading = query(
heading.where(level: 1)
).find(h => h.location().page() == here().page())
let last-heading = query(
heading.where(level: 1)
).rev(
).find(h => h.location().page() == here().page())
let header = if not first-heading == none {
first-heading.body
last-hd.update(last-heading.body)
} else {
last-hd.display()
}
let n = counter(page).get().first()
if (n > 1) {
align(center, header)
}
}
)
#let section(title: none) = {
if title != none {
heading(title)
}
lorem(10)
pagebreak()
}
#{
outline()
pagebreak()
text("instead of saying 'contents', it should say first chapter too", size: 25pt, fill: red)
section(title: "first chapter")
section()
section()
section(title: "second chapter")
section()
}

It's a bit more convoluted, but it consistently gets the last heading, or the first heading of the current page if there is one

(there's also hydra, btw, but I'm not sure if it does exactly what you both want)

That's very cool and it works. Thank you.
As an addendum, for the outline, would it be possible not just to specify where the page starts, but the entire range of the chapter? ie instead of chapter 1 -- page 3, to say say chapter 1 -- page 3 to page 5

manually, sure. just find the next chapter, and subtract one from the page number
