All my attempts to create an org mode link to a table in another org file fails to find the table. Instead I’m offered to create a new heading, which is not what I want.
In Section 4.3 External Links I see this format:
file:projects.org::some words text search in Org file(31)
so my link looks like
This is how to find error codes [[file:rst.org::tbl:luaerrors][Errors]]
And I have this entry in the org file with the table
#+LABEL: tbl:luaerrors
I’ve also tried the absolute path. All advice appreciated.

I don't think this can be done with labels/names out of the box. You can do
it with radio targets, e.g. <<tbl:luaerrors>> in the external file, and
your link where you want it.

You can use #+NAME:. It works for me.
