Yes, this is a new feature in 5.0. Rather than basing the block [Quoted] on a table or view as you did in the past, set the Block Data Source Type property to FROM Clause Query. Enter your query as the data source. Create data items to correspond to the columns returned by the query. The query is simply the table join you want, e.g. (SELECT empno, ename, deptno, dname from emp, dept where etc.). Check the online help for more details.
