I don't think this can be done with labels/names out o= f the box. You can do it with radio targets, e.g. <<tbl:luaerrors>= > in the external file, and your link where you want it.=C2=A0

In Section 4.3 External Links I see this format:

file:projects.org::some words=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 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=E2=80=99ve also tried the absolute path.=C2=A0 =C2=A0All advice appreciat= ed.
