Creating information in a block to transfer to a table

I am not sure this is even possible, but could I use some sort of invisible block attribute data and everytime I insert it into a drawing (I use the same block multiple times within a drawing) it would autopopulate fields in a table. For example I have a smoke detector symbol I insert, I also have a specific address associated with every single detection symbol I insert into a drawing, would I be able to attach data such as what type of detector it may be and have the address and type automatically populate in a table everytime I insert my block into a drawing?

I do not believe that AutoCAD LT is capble of doing such and not too sure that it can be done with Full either. (Even Fields require a Regen to update.)

Attribute Extraction to a Text file is usually the means by which this is done.
