This is not directly possible as dropdowns can neither function as a link nor can they cause anything to "open in a new tab". However as Shubham has pointed out, it is trivially easy to allow a dropdown to control the present content on an interface, acting as a sort of "tab control" or whatever you'd like to describe it as. The user simply changes the dropdown selection and the selected interface and/or section proceeds to load immediately.

Do you want to show interface based on the dropdown selection? If so, it should be achievable. Create interfaces as per your requirement and use a local variable that stores your selection of the dropdown and use match to evaluate against the value and show your respective UI.

I have my doubts that this is a great user experience. Why not just use a bullet point list to show these items?

What exactly do you want to happen? Open a link when clicking the link, or open the link when the users selects an item? What is the purpose of this?

Not possible. Only workaround is to display a safelink beside the dropdown. This would require the user to select a value and then click on the link to open the new tab.
