There is no existing mechanism, no.  And I don't think there is any
concept of an "empty window" in Vim.  I guess you're talking about
':new' windows with unnamed buffer ([No Name]).

In any case, you should be able to build yourself a function.

  1. Get current buffer number (see ':h bufnr'). Say it's "3".
  2. Move to the tab where you want to move the buffer (':norm! <n>gt'),
     where "<n>" is an integer.
  3. Split a window and open the buffer "3" (':split | b3').
  4. Return.

I use the following mappings to create a new tab and move the current buffer from here to there or to copy it to there (so that it remains here AND shows up in the new tab, also):

" Moves the current buffer to a new tab; I can type this faster than <c-w>T
nmap <leader>nt <c-w>T
" Opens a new tab with the current buffer in it, leaving the current buffer in the current tab as well.
nmap <leader>nT :sp<cr><leader>nt

If you want to move the current file to an already existing tab, then I included MoveToTab and CopyToTab commands in my tab manager (https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3536) that takes a single parameter: the number of the destination tab, $ to mean the last tab, n to mean the next tab or p to mean the previous tab.

I hope one of these does what you want.

All the best,

Salman
