The server-side code can't instruct the browser to open a new tab, that's not how redirects work. All a redirect does is tell the browser to navigate to an address.

To open a new tab, you'd need to use client-side code. Generally this could be as simple as:

window.open(address, '_blank');

However, keep in mind that browsers make no standard guarantee to open things in tabs vs. new windows. That's entirely up to the browser's settings and capabilities. (I think that in some browsers it might make a difference whether this code is executed directly or in a click event.)
