Can I use lookup instead of join?

Hello guys
So I have a table where there are Index and Role. In another table, there is Index and Description. So what I am trying to output is something like this below:-

Role | Index | Description
1       | a_2 | World says hello back.
          |a_3| Hello 
2      |a_4| WOW

Currently using join the index fields are being joined. But is there a way to do the joining without Join but only lookup?

|mvexpand Indexes
|fields Index2, Indexes, Role

|join type=outer Indexes [ inputlookup index_info_lu | rename Index as Indexes]  << here>>

| stats list(Indexes) as Indexes,list(Description) as Description by Role
