Those tables do not exist in this edition. DDB doesn’t have them because they aren’t allowed to since WotC didn’t include them. If you want tables like those in this edition then you would need to raid that subject with the game’s publisher, WotC. (This website is not owned by WotC.) However, the reason WotC didn’t include them this edition is because new magic items come out in every published sourcebook and adventure, so it would be pointless.
Though, one thing DDB could possibly do is add a function to the Magic Items page. Perhaps put a “Random” button with an associated fixed value field so that users could have it randomly present X number of whichever magic item was selected. But on second thought, that’s exactly the type of thing they will be more likely to put in the DMs’ Dashboard they are planning to create at some point to go along with the encounter builder and combat tracker when all of that finally gets combined as part of their plan to implement thorn”digital play space.” (Fancy VTT just for D&D.)
I know this is old, but its strange DDB doesn't give the DM the ability to create our own random tables. We could create our own random encounter tables, weather tables etc. I'd rather use DDB than any other tool, but along with World Anvil, c'mon DDB lets start Campaign tools, I will need to continue using MS Excel for random tables. Are the PTB listening?

Why doesn't D&DB have a "Random Tables" link under "Sources"?
I just tried searching "tables," "random potions," magic rings," etc and there are no links to such tables.
@IamSposta; I know those tables; thank you :-) I am talking about 3.0 tables: Wands, Rings, & Potions.
You mean “Treasure Tables?” Those are located in either the DMG, or Xanathar’s Guide.

I generally don’t use the random tables in session but I do sometimes use
https://donjon.bin.sh/5e/random/
Which I believe has a full list of everything in the main sourcebooks. You can generate random treasure, encounters, traps etc .
