Here's how I thought it might work:

When you go to the criteria tab and click the "+" button, you get a
Set Value dialog box which comes up. Currently this gives you a tree
view of the tables you've joined, from which you can select a column.
A subquery button could be added to that dialog, which would bring up
a new query builder window (or create another tab at the top along
with "SQL Editor" and "Graphical Query Builder");

I'm sure there are a lot of details which would have to be worked out, though.
