I think tab-explosion is the thing that distinguishes the web from other media. If you're not going to link to relevant material, is the web really the best medium for what you're doing, or would it be better presented as a journal article, book or similar?

There's no reason we have to go from "no links" to "tab explosion." There's a near infinite amount of tab-possibility-space out there. Most of those possibilities won't be ideal, and many of them may be worse than traditional print.
