Yes you can.
Use an org-id
Suppose you have a table in file x.org, under some title:
--------- x.org ----------------------
* title
| a | b |
|----+----|
| aa | 5 |
| bb | 7 |
| aa | 11 |
--------------------------------------
Add an ID by calling: M-x org-id-get-create. You end up with:
--------- x.org ----------------------
* title
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: c8b8bb22-e42e-426f-afb0-4cb19aed27ad
:END:
| a | b |
|----+----|
| aa | 5 |
| bb | 7 |
| aa | 11 |
--------------------------------------
Globally save the new ID by calling M-: (org-id-locations-save). You will see c8b8bb22-e42e-426f-afb0-4cb19aed27ad in the ~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations file.
In another file, say y.org, you may now reference this remote table with the ID in an aggregated, transposed, or joined block:
--------- y.org ----------------------
#+BEGIN: aggregate :table "c8b8bb22-e42e-426f-afb0-4cb19aed27ad" :cols "a vsum(b)"
| a | vsum(b) |
|----+---------|
| aa | 16 |
| bb | 7 |
#+END:
--------------------------------------
The wizard for creating the aggregated (or joined, or transposed) block does not (yet) complete remote tables names, only buffer-local ones. The wizard may be called with C-c C-x x (or C-x C-x i on older versions of Org Mode).
Note that those global IDs are also used by the spreadsheet remote() function. Example:
--------- z.org ----------------------
| b |
| 5 |
| 7 |
| 11 |
#+TBLFM: $1=remote(c8b8bb22-e42e-426f-afb0-4cb19aed27ad,@@#$2)
--------------------------------------
Have fun
