Hi

I would like to reference a table in a different file in some org-babel
python code via the :var variables.  The manual mentions that you can
use #+NAME for tables in the same file or IDs for tables in other files.
Is there a reason not to allow link-syntax like
remote(file:<path>::<tablename>, <cellref>)?

Thanks

Arun
