Sort multiple tables as one (Join but not really)

Is there a way to sort data from multiple tables as a single query result? Here is an example of what I would like to accomplish:
Code:
Table 1
Link | Entry1 | Entry2 |
123  |  foo   |  bar   |

Table 2
Link | Entry3 | Entry4 |
456  |  foo1  |  bar1  |

Table 3
Link | Entry5 | Entry6 |
789  |  foo2  |  bar2  |


Result
Link | Entry1 | Entry2 | Entry3 | Entry4 | Entry5 | Entry6 |
123  |   foo  |  bar   |        |        |        |        |
456  |        |        |  foo1  |  bar1  |        |        |
789  |        |        |        |        |  foo2  |  bar2  |
