I think there is no reasonable way to do this. But what is your reason
to try this?

Usually I would put the common table within its own database and
simply use this database in queries, like this:

SELECT * FROM table1 as one, common.table2 as two WHERE one.whatever = two.whatever

If that does not fit your case, please elaborate.

Bye,
