Custom Reports - Reference Field Missing In General Ledger Account Table

In the old version of Custom Reports, it was possible to create a report, listing all transactions, by selecting the General Ledger Account table from the dropdown and choosing the Reference field as a column to display in the report.
The new version of Custom Reports does not have the Reference field listed under the General Ledger Account table dropdown.
Now, the only way to display the Reference field for transactions is to create a report by adding the Inter Account Transfer, Journal Entry, Purchase Invoice, Sales Invoice tables and choosing the Reference field under each of them. This produces a report that displays (4) separate Reference columns, one for each of the (4) tables.
Is there any way that the Reference field for transactions can be added back under the General Ledger Account table so the Reference field for all transactions can be displayed in reports under one column like it was in the old Custom Reports version?
