Question

I have an itemscope for an event containing a table with attendees.

I would like to be able at the same time to have the table as itemscope itemtype="[...]Table" and the rows of the table as itemprop="attendee" referring to the outer itemscope itemtype="[...]Event". Something like:

itemscope itemtype=Event
    itemprop something about Event
    itemprop another thing about Event
    itemscope itemtype=Table
        itemprop=attendee referring to the Event, not the Table
        ...

However if I use what I have written above the attendee property will refer to the Table scope. Is there a way around this?

I think you could probably do that with itemref. That allows you to refer back to a previously specified bit of microdata using an id on the relevant element. Specification here: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-microdata-20110405/#attr-itemref
