How can we jump to different page in af:showDetailItem within af:showOneTab

Question

Hi,
My requirement is to have multiple tabs in a page (not using the menu1, menu2, or menu3 facet). Each tab is doing different functionality, so each tab could span multiple pages.
I am trying to use af:showOneTab with af:showDetailItem to implement this, but it seems that with af:showOneTab, all tabs are part of the same page, so I am facing a problem. I am hoping that there is an "action" property in the af:showDetailItem component that I can use to go to different page.
For example, I have 2 tabs: Employee, Department.
Employee | Department
When user reaches the first page, we are disclosing Employee tab by default. Within this tab, we are showing all employees in an ADF table with a link to "Create New Employee" which I wire to a new JSFX page. So in this new page, I am copying the same af:showOneTab with 2 af:showDetailItems from the same page.
After we are done with the creation, if user clicks the Employee tab, we should go back to the first JSFX page which shows all employees in ADF table. But it does not do that, it stays in the second page (create new employee page). Then I realize that it's because there is no "action" property in af:showDetailItem.
Can af:showOneTab / af:showDetailItem be used to achieve this? Or is there another tab container component that I should use?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
this is more a usecase for a template than the use of tabs. Tabs are not made for this. You could use subviews, but then the pages are added at runtime to the parent page
