Hey everyone!

I’m using **@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard:1.22.0** and designing my dashboard with the **TABS** layout. I love how compact and easy-to-navigate this layout feels!

That said, I’m trying to update data on the dashboard whenever a user navigates between tabs (technically groups). I noticed that neither `ui-event` nor `ui-control` seem to report these changes since they focus on "page" events rather than "group" switches.

Any tips on how to handle this? Or do you think I should open a feature request for it?

Thanks in advance

Happy to put in a `ui-event` for this, it makes sense. The existing `ui-event` monitors page changes, and _technically_ it isn't a page change (as the URL stays the same) but I agree, that's something we could monitor and transmit
