No, there is not. Joining datasets in reports is on the wishlist for a
future release.
The closest alternatives you have in RS 2000 are:
* use aggregate functions to access fields from other datasets. However,
this won't work for lookup purposes.
* join the lookup data in the dataset query, so you have the information
available as additional field in the current dataset.
* implement lookup functionality by using a custom assembly which gets the
data on its own (however this may not be trivial to do).

I forgot subreports - you can pass the lookup values as parameters to the
subreport. The subreport would show the lookup data.
