Jquery tabs 1.10 open a tab in new window

Question

I am seeking to linka jquery ui tab to an external link, I have tried to work it around but havent been able to accomplish this, I used select event earlier to make it work but after the 1.10 upgrade the old code i have isnt working

Here is what I have done, What I am doing is on beforeActivate I am using event object to narrow down to the anchor tag's rel and use that for redirect This is where I am http://jsfiddle.net/rigids/3fnZ6/ and donot think I am going in right directeion

 beforeActivate: function (event, ui) {
            event.preventDefault();
            //console.log(event);
            window.location.href = event.currentTarget.attributes[0].nodeValue;
         }
