Is there a plugin or script to open ctags entries in a new tab? I'd like to put my cursor over a function, press ctrl+] and have the entry open in another tab. I'd also like if I visually select an entry, for ctrl+] to still work and open in a new vim tab.

Opening a tab Probably the easiest to remember is to run the :tabnew command while in normal mode. This will open a new tab with an empty buffer. If you want to edit a file in the new tab, you can run :tabnew filename and Vim will load the file in the new tab.
To switch to the next tab, use :tabn, and to switch to the previous tab, use :tabp (short for tabnext and tabprevious respectively). You can also jump over tabs by using :tabn 2, which will move to the second next tab. To jump to the first tab, use :tabr (tabrewind) and to jump to the last tab use :tabl (tablast).
To directly move to first tab or last tab, you can enter the following in command mode: :tabfirst or :tablast for first or last tab respectively. To move back and forth : :tabn for next tab and :tabp for previous tab. You can list all the open tabs using : :tabs. To open multiple files in tabs: $ vim -p source.
Ctrl-W w to switch between open windows, and Ctrl-W h (or j or k or l ) to navigate through open windows. Ctrl-W c to close the current window, and Ctrl-W o to close all windows except the current one. Starting vim with a -o or -O flag opens each file in its own split.

C-wC-]C-wT
To achieve that effect
Then you can also map that:
:nnoremap <silent><Leader><C-]> <C-w><C-]><C-w>T Edit: also, depending on what you actually want, don't forget you can open tags in preview (:ptag) with e.g. C-w}. Just mentioning it in case...

Here are two pretty ad-hoc mappings (in case your tags are generated by ctags):
nnoremap <C-]> :tabnew %<CR>g<C-]> vnoremap <C-]> <Esc>:tabnew %<CR>gvg<C-]> First we open current buffer in a new tab; then we try to jump to a tag under cursor (g<C-]>, which is equal to :tjump, jumps to the tag directly if there's only one match, or provides a list of matches if there are many).
Pros:
Cons:
P.S. Could you provide a use case for visual mode mapping?
P.P.S. If you generate tags with cscope (which is better than ctags) and use its vim mappings, replace the above mappings with the following ones:
nnoremap <C-]> :tabnew %<CR><C-]> vnoremap <C-]> <Esc>tabnew %<CR>gv<C-]> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
