Open a new terminal tab or window from a Cocoa app at a certain directory without using NSAppleScript?

I would like to perform the same logic as the "New Terminal Tab at Folder"
service in Finder in my Cocoa app. The only code I found via Google is all
using AppleScript to open the Terminal.app, but nothing I found was a Cocoa
interface besides 3rd party terminal apps (iTerm, iTerm2). Is there a
better way than using NSAppleScript to do this?

I do not see any core libraries for the terminal app, but perhaps I am just
looking in the wrong location.

If I were to use NSWorkspace, I tried using the "open" at the command line,
but I am not able to:

   1. figure out how to open a new tab as opposed to a window
   2. not have to run a program
   3. it does not open the default terminal "theme"

Thanks,
Andrew
