It's hard to fix this since you're not very explicit here.

It cannot work in filters. These are applied on back-end ouput, in this
case LaTeX code, not on Org code.

There is no TBLOPTIONS affiliated keyword, but it could go in ATTR_LATEX
since this probably only makes sense in a LaTeX-type output. If you
provide a full description of options and their effect, I might try to
implement it.
