Is it really that simple? Or can it only be done on single-table selects?

How about UNIONs? I thought IBO detected this kind of stuff and
used DB_KEY where appropriate..

Great, but auto-key links is pretty much the easiest way to get the job
done... :) ... And as said above, I thought things were handled by IBO if
'request live' was set to True... Seems not to be the case...
