If the figures/tables should appear before the text you want on a even
(left side) page while the text would appear only on odd (right side)
pages. A few questions remain before a certain answer can be given, e.g.
should the left page be empty when there are no figures/tables for the
following right page and should the float appear at the same vertical
position as the reference.

There is no easy solution for this yet and it also depends on your
requirements mentioned above. The easiest way to achieve such a layout
is to to increase the paper width to twice the normal layout and use the
left half for a very big margin area where you can place the
tables/graphics.
In a first step you create a normal document with this unusual layout.
Afterwards you split each page in half and create two separate pages
from one single page which can be done with a loop (can be done
theoretically with the imposition mechanism but a separate document is
easier).
