The annoying thing is that this feature has not been surfaced through the Query designer for advanced find within CRM. It’s not a big issue, as most scenarios for this type of joins are intended for reports and you don’t use the designer for that. However, I’ve come across a number of scenarios where we wanted to define Dynamic Marketing Lists with queries that required this type of functionality – e.g. accounts with no activities in the last x weeks. The good news is that you can use the APIs to manipulate the Dynamic Marketing Lists definitions and change its FetchXML programmatically.
