I thought so at first glance -- but the preprocessors listed are
tbl, eqn, pic, lbl, refer; so 'tbl' is already there.

When you look at what they do:

tbl     Tabel
eqn     mathematische Ausdrücke
pic     Grafiken
lbl     Untertitel von Tabellen und Bildern
refer   Bibliografische Verweiselen

you see it says that 'lbl' does "Subtitles/captions for tables
and figures" -- which is not quite right (see my earlier post)
but in the right area.

Best wishes,
Ted.
