Please take a look at example below:

1. <div id="tabs" class="ui-tabs" style="display: none;">
2. <ul>
3.         <li><a href="#tabs-1">Tab 1</a></li>
4.         <li><a href="http://www.google.com"></a><li>
5. </ul>
6. </div>
   

By default tabs plugin will replace second tab href with something like #ui-tabs-3. Is there a way to leave href intact? I know that I can use this:
follow a tab's URL instead of loading its content via ajax but it doesn't give user a choice to open URL in current or new window.
