I would think that this code would work for your purposes:

    id superview = startView;

    while (superview)
    {
        if ([superview isKindOfClass:[NSTabView class]])
            return [superview selectedTabViewItem];

        superview = [superview superview];
   }
   return nil;

Presumably whichever NSTabViewItem the pane belongs to, is the currently
selected one in its NSTabView - otherwise how could the action be generated
from a non-visible view?
