Attaching a table to a component

I want to attach a general table to a component in an assy.  (actually a couple tables to a couple components).  I know there is an option that supposedly does just that.  However when I select it, I do not see the custom properties of the component.  So I am thinking its (the table) is not truly attched to THAT component.  Any ideas?  Thanks!
