Yup, you should be able to use the Layout feature for that. Under Parameters > Layout you can set "Profile Value Layout" as needed to output the [value] with a link around it. As for linking to specific tabs you'd use the below URL.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=userprofile&tab=TAB_ID_HERE

Replace TAB_ID_HERE with the ID of your tab. If you want this to use a specific menu item then be sure to add &Itemid=MENU_ID to the URL as well.

If you don't expect this to be displayed outside of profile and you don't want it to do a page load you can also do this using the built in tab select behavior as follows.

Same as before be sure to replace TAB_ID_HERE with the actual ID of your tab. In this case replace it in both locations.
