Note: For those from Adobe that read this list ... With IE7's release and it's support for tabbed browsing, if Flash Player provides no support for opening links in tabs it will be increasing apparent that Flash Player is essentially unaware of tabbed browers.)
I believe JavaScript is also fully unaware of tabs in any browser, and JavaScript is the browsers own language. I am sorry but tabs are still very browser specific and not exposed yet to any programatic API's available to Flash. The only solution currently is to implement browser-specific plugins that can communicate with the webpage through JavaScript. Good luck convincing internet users that they'll need such a plugin. If I find anything more that might look like a possibility I'll post it to the list, but I think you're out of luck.
