I've managed to modify the tabs code to allow you to send a new URL to
the tab to be executed. Here's a diff:

To use:
$('#tabs').triggerTab(2, 'http://mysite.com/mypage.html');
One benefit is that the tab remembers its new target, so when its
clicked you get the same page again, rather than the one set by
default.
Its probably a terrible hack, but it works for now. I hope you decide
to add this feature in your next release, its extremely useful.
