    Hi Kryt0n 
    Thanks for using Fabric Community.

    Currently, directly accessing tables across different workspaces in Microsoft Fabric isn't supported. This means you cannot query a table from one workspace in a notebook or other tool associated with another workspace, even if you have permissions to both.

    This limitation exists due to the way Fabric manages data and workspaces. Each workspace acts as a separate container with its own data and configurations. While you can have access to multiple workspaces, data access remains isolated within each workspace.
    You cannot directly query the tables from a different workspace. You can however create shortcuts that point to the tables in a different workspace and then query the shortcut.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.
