Not in the conventional sense. There are no keywords etc to do that.

If you did a ClearCollect(Collection1, Collection2). You end up with a merge/append, where all the new fields in Collection 2, get added to the Collection1 columns and are NULL. All the Collection2 columns that match Collection1 in name and *type, just are there, and any Collumns in Collection 2 that were not in Collection one are simply merged in with their values.

You would have to do some definite work (addColumns, ifs compares blah blah ) to do what you are asking.
