Auto Join using (JoinByOne , JoinByArray)

Usually , user need to manually choose which pieces/pages that needed to join. For Example : enter image description here

Can it be programmatically join ? If some properties via cursor is available, then I want it to join with my current piece. Else , it will return null.

The main purpose is to not manually search/browse my piece. I need it to be Auto join / programmatically join without user need to browse the piece by themselves. If not , I have to enable sendmail to admin to tell that, "Your blog receives Likes ! Join it to your blog piece now !" . Something like that.
