Of-course there is :)

The trick to getting some control over the join table is the with
key.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/83/hasAndBelongsToMany-HABTM
This tells Cake to use your class file for the join model and any
methods and settings in it.

Mariano also has a good write-up of how to get the join table working
as a real model.

And finally Teknoid has aa very short and clear post about how to
actually save the extra data.
