* reference a remote named block in #+CALL: line

I am getting used to calling library-of-babel functions with local data
structures as input variables, e.g. in this line:

#+CALL: list2table(data=common-issues-list, order="rows") :results  table
 raw

where `common-issues-list` is a named org-mode list in the current file,
e.g.

#+NAME: common-issues-list
- some
- things
- here

In this particular case, I'd like to maintain a single data structure and
use it in a bunch of places (it's a document I re-use in several courses,
all of which are published online with different metadata stored in
headings). Is there a syntax for referring to #+NAME'd elements in remote
files?

Sorry if I'm missing something that is explained in the docs -- I am not
finding this in what I think of as the obvious places.

thanks as always,

Mat

AFAIK, there is nothing like this.

However, it looks like it would be easy to modify `org-babel-lob-ingest' by adding another argument giving the name (or a list of names) of src blocks that you want added to `org-babel-library-of-babel' by replacing the `when source-name' with something like `when (member source-name only-these-names)' so only src blocks you want to invoke are ingested.

HTH,

Chuck

that's what I use with tables (but that should not matter):

#+CALL: list2table(data=data.org:common-issues-list, order="rows") :results  table raw
