I'm not sure if this would do it for you, but if you have certain apps
that you regularly like to group together, you could use Devil's Pie:

"A window-matching utility, inspired by Sawfish's "Matched Windows"
option and the lack of the functionality in Metacity. Metacity lacking
window matching is not a bad thing — Metacity is a lean window
manager, and window matching does not have to be a window manager
task.

"Devil's Pie can be configured to detect windows as they are created,
and match the window to a set of rules. If the window matches the
rules, it can perform a series of actions on that window. For example,
I can make all windows created by X-Chat appear on all workspaces, and
the main Gkrellm1 window does not appear in the pager or task list."

It wouldn't be tabs per se, but it might fit most of your needs.  Or,
might not.  :-)
