Try using the click handler for that. If it returns false, the tab
won't switch. You can utilize that. Say you add a class "external" to
all such tab links:

var $tabs = $('#tabs').tabs({
    click: function(tab) {
        if ( $(tab).is('.external') ) {
            location.href = tab.href;
            return false;
        }
    }
});
