Not that I know.

If there are no real reason for using separate meshes, then I suggest
just making a new mesh for the whole thing and compute on that (with
some mesh generator like Netgen).

(There are other cases where one might want to have separate meshes,
like for example if they are overlapping. This can also be done but
requires some manual work.)
