It lists buffer names.

If you are talking about tabs containing buffers you are absolutely wrong. They do not contain buffers. The only things tabs do contain* is windows and windows in turn display (not contain) buffers.

* Putting aside some unrelated things like t: dictionary with tab-local variables.

There are plugins like Command-T for that. I see no sense in what you do: list of buffers is global and I have not seen any plugin that will switch you to appropriate tab deduced on some condition and bring the buffer you seek there.
