There is also the "usetab" setting of the 'switchbuf' option: after
":set swb+=usetab", the command ":sbuffer /path/to/filename.ext" will
bring you to the window for filename.ext if there is one in any tab.
If there isn't, I'm not sure, maybe it will give an error, but even if
it does, you know that that file isn't yet loaded so you can open a
new window (and possibly a new tab) for it.

Best regards,
Tony.
