Maybe. You might be able to say something like: "Get all text in the second column in the table that has the text 'Address:' in it.".

Just treat it in the same way you would the whole page. contacttable.firstText() will only find text in the contact table, and contacttable.fetch("tr") will get all the table rows in the contact table (not the whole document).
With fetch("tr") and fetch("td") you can get specific cells from a table. So you could get a cell from the second row in the first column, or, with a list comprehension, you could get all of the text in a certain column or row, joined together.
