I'm still lost, sorry.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+name: sometab
#+caption: Some table
| a | b |
| c | d |

Hey, look at Table [[sometab]].
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

is already exported as

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
━━━━━━
 a  b 
 c  d 
━━━━━━
Table 1: Some table

Hey, look at Table 1.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you explain what you would like to see, in addition to what is
already possible?

I think, however, that it is not directly related to citations, unless
you want to be able to somehow link to a cite. Then we may have
a problem, because there is currently no way to name a cite. However, if
that ever makes sense, it is still possible to add a target next to it:

   <<@key>>[cite:@key]
