It does. Just use a string expansion:
domains = ${lookup pgsql{...your query here....}}
The query should return a list of domains, colon separated. If the
separator is something else, you can use ${sg.... on the result to
convert the separators, or use the <; mechanism for specifying a
different separator.
Summary:
1. The "lookup-type;query..." style of list item is using a lookup
as a quick means of indexing into a list.
2. The "${lookup...." style of list item is a way of storing a list
in a database.
If you were really weird, you could use an item of type 2 that returned
an item of type 1!
