Need to join dimension tables

Hi,
I have a requirement to build canned reports in WEBI XI R3. The requirements are such that most of the reports are on the dimension tables and needs dimension tables to be joined.

From a starschema prospective we cannot join dimension tables. My way of looking at it is
1.Build custom tables or views
2.Free style sql
