Splunk Search

Search Multiple Sourcetypes using different fields - return all rawevent information for all sourcetypes

I need help figuring out the best way to get the information I want in one query.

I have indexA with sourcetypeA, sourcetypeB and sourcetypeC. I also have indexB with sourcetypeD.

I input two values to search for within sourcetypeA. The results will give me three fields that I need to use to search the remaining sourcetypes. I want the results return the raw events for all instances that are found.

basically - sourcetypeA contains field1, field2, field3
sourcetypeB and sourcetypeC contain field1, field2, field3. But I need the output from sourcetypeA (field1, field2, field3) in order to search sourcetypeB and sourcetypeC for matching fields.
sourcetypeD contains field2 and field3 - I need the output from sourcetypeA or sourcetypeB to search for field2 and field3 in sourcetypeD

Here is what i have tried and only gotten part of what i want. (there have been numerous attempts to figure this out).

sourcetype=logA input1=NAME input2=ADDRESS | join type=outer field2 [search sourcetypeD]

Use the return function.

sourcetypeB
[ search index=indexA sourcetype=sourcetypeA
| dedup fieldA, fieldB, fieldC
| return fieldA, fieldB, fieldC]
| append [sourcetypeC
[ search index=indexA sourcetype=sourcetypeA
| dedup fieldA, fieldB, fieldC
| return fieldA, fieldB, fieldC]]
