It should be configurable somewhere.  In general, what mail client does 
with a link is determined by a file somewhere.  I am using Thunderbird 
and I was able to configure it to open links in Konqueror in DeskTop 2 
by adding stuff to a file, but wasn't able to get Konqueror to open in a 
new tab.

So, you need to RTFM and see how KMail works, or perhaps someone else 
can help with the KMail details.

Also, IIUC, it might be possible to write a script that uses DCOP to do 
this.
