There's a nice example in the manual:

(info "(org) A LaTeX example")

Ah, then they wouldn't work in this scenario. Radio tables allow you to
use the minor mode orgtbl to edit org-mode tables within a commented
section of a source file (e.g., LaTeX, html) and then to place the
"exported" table at a target location within the same file.

It would, however, be very nice to be able to send the results or a
source code block (either executed code or exported org snippets) via
babel to a target in an external file.

Best,
