Sorry for the terminology confusion. I was referring to the dynamic code 
block features of org-mode such as org-dblock-write:columnview or 
org-update-dblock. Such functions take a pair of lines like

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :maxlevel 4
#+END:

and fill them in with information automatically extracted from the 
org-mode file.

I would like to be able to specify something like

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :maxlevel 4 :dtname
#+END:

and have a #+TBLNAME get inserted in automatically so that I can then 
use org-babel to further process the results.

I think things like this would be useful for all the various kinds of 
org-dblock-write: functions and so suggested a generic library for 
writers of org-dblock-write: functions to handle things like this.

Thanks,
-I.S.
