If I understand the question right, you're asking about including objects
belonging to a table?  Many trap definitions do this; when constructing the
trap, you have to be careful to include the full OID of the instance you're
replying with (e.g., ifIndex.42, not just ifIndex, even though the OBJECTS
in the linkUp NOTIFICATION-TYPE just says "ifindex").  Meaning, given

linkUp NOTIFICATION-TYPE

    OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }

you should construct the trap with, e.g.,

ifIndex.42 = 42 ifAdminStatus.42 = up ifOperStatus.42 = down

(using those arguments to the "snmptrap" command should create a
well-formed varbind list for a linkUp trap.)
