Thanks - yes, I could do that, but then it is not equivalent to a table, as I have to use VARIABLEVALUE() and for a table VARIABLETABLE. I actually wanted to get rid of this inconsistencies. I could obviously define an R source code block to return the table defined before in org, but this is not nice at all...
