Can you parameterize table lookup, i.e. t1.A(i) = t2.A(t2.B==t1.B(i)), so it does not require a loop?

I know this question must have been asked somewhere before, but I have failed to find it answered.
I have two tables, that looks something like this:
ID = {1;2;3};
Name = {'Joe';'Alex';'Lily'};
t1 = table(ID,Name);
ID = {1;1;3;1;2;3;1;3;2};
t2 = table(ID);
n = height(t2);
Now, I want to enrich t2 with names, by looking up which ID corresponds to which name in t1. What is the most efficient way to do this? In my experience, doing it in a loop like this is painfully slow:
t2 = addvars(t2,cell(n,1),'NewVariableNames', {'Name'});
for i = 1:n
t2.Name(i) = t1.Name(t1.ID == t2.ID(i));
end
I found this thread on using cellfun instead of a loop, but it seems that for that specific case, a loop is faster.

If you stored the IDs as basic numeric arrays, rather than inefficiently as complex cell arrays containing lots of numeric scalars, then this would be simple and efficient using one of the JOIN() family:
ID = [1;2;3];
Name = {'Joe';'Alex';'Lily'};
t1 = table(ID,Name)
ID = [1;1;3;1;2;3;1;3;2];
t2 = table(ID)
t2 = join(t2,t1)
