How to pass a Flask-SQLAlchemy Table as a parameter to my view?

Question

I'm trying to write my own admin-backend. Selecting a database Table from a menu should call a view function with the selected Table as parameter. The list of Table names I got through:

def get_navbar_data():
    # retrieve all tablenames from database
    inspector = inspect(db.engine)
    tables = inspector.get_table_names()

and is thus a mere list of strings. The selection itself takes place in an HTML template:

  <div class="dropdown">
    <button class="db-btn">Database
      <i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i>
    </button>
    <div class="db-content">
      {% for table in tables[1:] %}
        <a href="{{ url_for('dashboard_database', table=table) }}">{{ table }}</a>
      {% endfor %}
    </div>
  </div>

This calls a view in routes.py, where I need to query the selected table - but the passed tablename is just a string, not a database object:

@app.route('/dashboard_database/<table>')
def dashboard_database(table):
    tables, filelist = get_navbar_data()
    # get data for selected table
    data = table.query.all()
    return render_template(f'admin/db_{table}.html', tables=tables, filelist=filelist, data=data)

Running this code results in the following error:

File "/home/eos/Documenten/Python_Projects/blog/app/routes.py", line 187, in dashboard_database
    data = table.query.all()

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'query'

How, then, should I retrieve the requested database Table object, so that I can query it? I'm using Flask-SQLAlchemy with sqlite3...
