You probably aren't running the GNOME 2.14 release candidates yet, but 
once you upgrade to GNOME 2.14, the Preferred Applications window 
contains a radio button to 'Open a link in a new tab' for your web 
browser of choice. In older GNOME versions, it is still possible to 
enter a custom command to launch your preferred web browser. If you 
use 'epiphany --new-tab %s' here, links clicked in Evolution will open 
in a new epiphany tab.

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

regards,
