AFAIK, there is nothing like this. However, it looks like it would be easy to modify `org-babel-lob-ingest' by adding another argument giving the name (or a list of names) of src blocks that you want added to `org-babel-library-of-babel' by replacing the `when source-name' with something like `when (member source-name only-these-names)' so only src blocks you want to invoke are ingested.
