------------------------------I made a workaround that my users like, for multiple reasons....
1) You can't redirect/point to a specific tab, this solution does
2) You can't format the tab conditionally, this solution does.
3) You can't have multiple Tab rows, I haven't used this, but you could...
a) I created a series of 'go buttons', arranged & formatted them to look like native QB tabs
b) I created a series of forms (I know, maybe not best practice, but it works for us)
c) each 'go button' loads a different form for that subset of fields
d) I can conditionally vary the color, font, label, etc of the tab based on date or completion status or user permissions or whatever
It may not work for all, but an option of how to get around this functionality gap...

Thanks
