support markdown tables as data sources

See original GitHub issue

A regular markdown table

| name | foo | bar |
| - | - | - |
| something | 1 | |
| something else | 2 | 123 |

that renders as

name foo bar
something 1
something else 2 123

can be made accessible through the api. may be something like

```dataquery
table i.name as Name, i.foo as Foo, i.bar as Bar
FROM ...
FLATTEN file.items as i
```

Block references would also work, that is a good idea. I’ll make the data available in the index (as file.tables) and see if I can make it possible to query by the block ID.

I think the only hard part of this is coming up with the syntax for specifying what Markdown table you want to load from.

Obsidian already supports the following:

[[My Note#^my-table]]

Where ^my-table should be put under the table in question.

Maybe it could be used.
