tabbed

Given a label

Tabbed describes something organized with tabs—those projecting flaps or markers used to separate sections or enable quick access.

A tabbed binder has dividers; a tabbed interface in software lets you switch between open documents or browser pages without closing them.

The past tense of tab, tabbed also means marked or designated: She tabbed him as the likely successor.

In casual use, if someone tabbed you for something, they picked or identified you for it.
