And because I usually have all the files associated with a project open. I don't create Geany project files for each patch. Is there a more efficient way for me to use Geany?

Well, close the project while you make the patch, you should not need a project for that, remember Geany "projects" are pretty much just a named session file, only a few settings can be changed per project, and the files will all come back when you re-open the project.

If the patch needs unusual build commands add extra ones and save them in your user configuration, see the fine manual and my humble self's wiki article on the build system.

Thats not to say this is a perfect solution, but its available now.

Does that mean a plugin involving tabs can't be done?

It would need careful analysis:

is sufficient manipulation capability available from GTK (AFAIK it has no pin, but I'm no expert) and is it visible in the plugin API
will Geany just override anything the plugin does, it doesn't know about plugins so it has no reason not to behave in its normal way and ignore any pinning.
