Hello,

I don' think this is needed since this information is readily available
during the export process. For example

  (1+ (length (org-export-get-previous-element table-cell info 'all)))

returns the column number table-cell belongs to, whereas

  (1+ (cl-count-if
       (lambda (row) (eq (org-element-property :type row) 'standard))
       (org-export-get-previous-element (org-export-get-parent table-cell) 'all)))

returns the row number.

Regards,
