I know that it's easy to find the symmetries (reversible, fully amphicheiral, negative amphicheiral, chiral) for prime knots; i.e. the KnotInfo search result page here gives them:

http://www.indiana.edu/~knotinfo/results.cgi?knots=3-6&knots=7&knots=8&knots=9&knots=10&name=1&symmetry_type=1&full_symmetry_group=1&option=html

Is there any such table of symmetries of prime links and/or composite knots and/or composite links?

(as always, please correct me if I'm using bad/wrong terminology or asking a bad question.)

Okay, you are obviously father in knot theory than I studied. I am not familiar with some of your terms, though I do recognize prime knot and symmetry. The book Knot Theory by Charles Livingston has a table with the knots and lists some characteristics about them (including mirror/symmetry and others I believe). I also know that there was a chapter on composing knots. Hope this helps.

Here is a link to an excellent site on Knot Theory. I hope it helps you.
