No, this is not possible. Widgets needs to be always drawn and handled by the main thread, where the event loop is executed.
What you can do is defining some slots for each tab which open a document and connect to to some signals in your threads. This way you can emit a signal if a document should be opened in a tab from a different thread and it will be opened and handled by the event loop thread.
