Cross-reference latex table in RMarkdown

Question

I made a latex table in a Rmarkdown document. Now, I want to refer to this table in my text, but somehow all the options I could find online do not work. If I do \label{table1} or label{tab:table1} or \label{tbl: table1} after the \begin{table} command, and I subsequently refer to the table using \@ref(table1) or \@ref(tab:table1} or \@ref(tbl:table1} or \ref(table1), it all does not seem to work. The place in the text where I refer to the table shows questions marks. So, my question is: How do I refer to my latex table in a RMarkdown file?
