This is a bit user-unfriendly, but possible.

Step 1: Construct your table inside a macro with one argumen (say "body").
Step 2: Inside your table, do "Table -> Special properties -> Extract format".
        This only keeps the format of your table, and not the table itself.
Step 3: At the place left blank, type \body return.
