The split version of 'g ]' is 'CTRL-W g ]'. The commands versions of
those keybindings are :tselect and :stselect.

Here's a sample workflow. It could be made easier with some custom
commands...
" Begin with a fresh tab page while in file A
:tab split
" Split and view a definition.
CTRL-W g ]
" Now A and B are visible. From file B, jump further forward.
:only
CTRL-W g ]
" Further... (C and D become visible)
:only
CTRL-W g ]
" Now backwards! (B and C are visible again)
:only
:below split
:pop
" ...
"
" Leave the 'Cover Flow' view
:tabclose
