There is no way to perform a query with an unknown, at design time,
identifier without using EXECUTE.

The recommended way to do this is to use "format()" and dollar-quoting -
v9.1+ required:

v_qry := format(

$qry$
WITH [...]
SELECT id, func(...) FROM %I WHERE id [...]
$qry$

, _tbl

);

RETURN QUERY EXECUTE v_qry;
