Well yes, but this is not a "simple" tabbed interface. With multile compress/uncompress "TABS" you are actually describing a real (complete) SDI/MDI implementation.
SDI is what we have now (in PA 9.00).
With MDi you need to consider cross archive influences such as Drag & Drop between archives (Tabs) and changing compression format options, memory requirements (imagine 20 "TABs" all performing 7Zip Ultra compression .. etc.)

That would be a good thing, but is not easy.

P.S.
SDI - Single Document Interface
MDI - Multiple Document Interface
