Generally, no. A tab in Safari has no meaning or representation elsewhere in the system. It's just data inside the Safari process which is not accessible to other processes nor would they know how to interpret it if it were.

That said, the Accessibility API is probably the closest you can get to this. An accessible app should inform the system about changes to its GUI and an accessibility client can observe that.
