Navigation can be performed by specifying a valid absolute URI as an argument to the GoToAsync method: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/shell/navigation#perform-navigation

On OnItemSelected method, invoke the code below.

await (App.Current.MainPage as Xamarin.Forms.Shell).GoToAsync("//tabbar/tab/about", true);

AppShell.xaml: Set the route.

<TabBar Route="tabbar">
    <Tab Title="Browse" Icon="tab_feed.png">
        <ShellContent ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:ItemsPage}" />
    </Tab>

    <Tab Title="About" Icon="tab_about.png" Route="tab">
        <ShellContent Route="about" ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:AboutPage}" />
    </Tab>
</TabBar>

In the sample, I have two tabbed pages, one is Browse and the other is About. When I click the First item in the Browse tabbed page, it navigate to another About tabbed page. If I missunderstand, please feel free let me know. – Irishman
