You can do this by adding labels to the header property for each tabitem in the tabcontrol. Then you can set an event for the label.

xaml

<TabControl Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="tabControl1">
    <TabItem  Name="tabItem1">
        <TabItem.Header>
            <Label Content="tabItem1" 
                MouseLeftButtonDown="tabItem1_Clicked" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
        </TabItem.Header>
        <Grid />
    </TabItem>
    <TabItem  Name="tabItem2">
        <TabItem.Header>
            <Label Content="tabItem2" 
                MouseLeftButtonDown="tabItem2_Clicked" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
        </TabItem.Header>
        <Grid />
    </TabItem>
</TabControl>

C# / Code Behind

private void tabItem1_Clicked(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    //DO SOMETHING
}

private void tabItem2_Clicked(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    //DO SOMETHING
}

Hope this helps.
