Use as new tab page?

Is there a way to use this as a new tab page

in other words, if i run :tabnew the dashboard will show up unless a file is specified

[glepnir]

something like

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('TabEnter', {
    command ='Dashboard'
})

something like

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('TabEnter', {
    command ='Dashboard'
})

Doesn't work - causes many errors

TabEnter is also a bad event to use as it will run whenver i enter a tab, empty or not old or new. So I tried TabNewEntered. This works fine if :tabnew is given no args, but if a file is opened using tabnew, id like it to not launch dashboard.

In other words i need a way to make this

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('TabNewEntered', { command = 'Dashboard'})

only run if the new tab is blank
