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
