Re: captioned named table in org-babel R is dangling link in latex export

[William Denton]

It works if you put a #+label on the table ... which confuses me, because I 
looked through the manual for #+label and there's no mention of it at all, but a 
bunch of my Org files use it (for LaTeX export).

# -----

#+name: t1
#+begin_src R :exports both
library(tidyverse)
x <- tribble(~a, ~b, 1, 3)
x
#+end_src

#+caption: Org table.
#+label: tab_t1
#+RESULTS: t1
| 1 | 3 |

I want to refer to Table [[tab_t1]].
