Vim: can global marks switch tabs instead of the file in the current tab?

I'm in the process of learning vim, and i just learned about marks. Before this i found it useful to have all the source code files i'm working on in their own tabs. When i found out about "global" (capital letter) marks i thought it would be a great way to switch to a tab which already has the marked file open, and scroll to the correct spot in a quick way. However, i found out that jumping to a mark in a different file simply changes the file which the current tab is displaying, and this messes up my tabs setup. Is there a way to make the marks work with the tabs in the way that i want?

tabs vim
