Tabular Browser Windows for Atom-Shell?

Question

I'm playing around with the atom-shell and was wondering if anybody has used/written a module for making tubular browser windows?

Currently, it seems, atom-shell opens a completely new window when instantiating a BrowserWindow:

var win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600, show: false });
win.on('closed', function() {
  win = null;
});

win.loadUrl('https://github.com');
win.show();

Is there a way of tabularising the window, like in the atom application? Or will I have to write this functionality inside the current BrowserWindow in order to get it to work?

There is no way to create native tabs in Atom Shell. That being said, what @zcbenz suggests is entirely doable with the <WebView> tag, which allows you to safely host arbitrary web content inside Atom Shell.
