Get tab underline to the very BEGINNING and END of the page

I sometimes use a right-aligned tab at the very right edge of the writing area to make a horizontal line like this:

.
But the resulting line does NOT reach up to the margins:
Is there a way of making this line reach up to the left and right margins?

It is not perfect but try to check Custom character(s) -- Angepasste(s) Zeichen? --, put U+0640 and hit OK. The glyph will be supplied by /System/Library/Fonts/Geeza Pro.ttf unless you have removed it intentionally. You can adjust the thickness by changing the font size.
You can get U+0640 from Character Palette (Edit:Special Characters...) or using the following macro
which will put it in the clipboard.

Edit: Alternatively, you can make the paragraph containing the horizontal line a separate section by enclosing it with Section Breaks (Same Page) and enlarge its text area. Something opposite to

No, not directly. I don't see why we can't reduce the leader tab padding, but honestly there will always be some; the leaders aren't really designed for this.
