Subject: Re: Can we open a page in a new tab in the same browser using selenium-webdriver?

I highly recommend watir-webdriver, selenium's API just feels so clumsy 
in comparison, and it's the same underlying driver...

As far as I know, tabs are not supported in webdriver.
However, here's an alternative:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.get 'http://www.google.com'

#Extract the link we want to go to
address = driver.find_element(:link_text, "Gmail").attribute('href')

#Open a new browser window
driver.execute_script( "window.open()" )

#Use the newest window
driver.switch_to.window( driver.window_handles.last )

#Navigate to the url we just extracted
driver.get address
