Can I modify the task template (.otf) to have tabs?

I would like to modify the setup of a task and save it as a template. I need
the current task window to have multiple tabs for different tasks on one
project. So I would need to change the current two tabs (task and details) to
custom tabs with custom forms within each tab.

Is this possible?

It would still be just one task, not multiple tasks. The task form is a code/UI template for displaying the data from a single task data entry. If you wanted to display data from multiple tasks that are related to the current task, you'd have to write code to show that information in unbound controls on the form.

These pages will get you started with form design:
