You can certainly use something like xdotool to send the "create new
tab" keycode to urxvt (and I'd guess this would work for mrxvt and
konsole as well), but whether you can do something less roundabout, I
don't know.
In urxvt the tabs are handled by the perl extension, and I would think
you should be able to do it, but I find the interface to the perl
extension stuff a bit confusing.
