You can put an identifier on part of the capture in the
way you describe, but currently there's no good way to
put an identifier on the Table element itself -- though
the AST now does allow attributes there.

Well, actually, there is one way, but only in commonmark
with the attributes extension:

```
% pandoc -f commonmark_x
{#mytable}
| This | is |
| ---  | -- |
| my   | table |
<table id="mytable">
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>This</th>
<th>is</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>my</td>
<td>table</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```
