You Asked

In Query Builder, I would like to execute something akin to the example. I already have two connections configured to the same database which differ only by the username/schema.

SELECT a1.foo, b1.bar
FROM schema_a.table1 a1
JOIN schema_b.table1 b1 ON a1.id = b1.id
WHERE a1.foo > 300

Yes you can (as long as the user you are connected as has privs on the objects concerned). You just drag and drop them into the same query builder panel.
