One problem is that connections don't connect to a table. They connect to the server and may be in a particular database but nothing with tables.

The question not being asked, and needs to be, what are you trying to accomplish?

Sounds like you should be using Extended Events to capture this kind of information. You can capture the code being executed (as was noted, there isn't a "connection to a table" to capture). I assume you're trying to track queries. This is one of the best ways to get it done. Another option since you're in 2017 is to use the Query Store.

not sure what you want it for, this is the best you can get, as suggested use extended events..

SELECT getdate() as datetime,
es.login_time,es.last_request_start_time,
ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name], es.[host_name], es.login_name, DB_NAME(eS.database_id) db_name,
COUNT(ec.session_id) AS [connection count]
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions AS es WITH (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections AS ec WITH (NOLOCK)
ON es.session_id = ec.session_id
GROUP BY es.login_time,es.last_request_start_time, ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name], es.[host_name], es.login_name ,DB_NAME(eS.database_id)
ORDER BY ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name] OPTION (RECOMPILE);
