It's suppose to.  You can pass it the '--tab' option, and it should open
a new tab in the last opened window (that's what the parameter help
says).  However, from what I tested, I can't get it to open a tab in an
existing window, it always opens a new window.  Passing it multiple
'--tab' options will open a single window with multiple tabs though.  I
don't see any way of telling it to change focus to a certain tab though.

Also, I personally prefer this be an option, as I like to use multiple
windows as opposed to a single window with tabs.  I would like having
the UI stay open after opening the terminal though, and I tested it from
Ulrich's patch, and it works well.
