How to do tabs with 3D pocket, etc?

I have a shape I want to machine out of a block of wood, and it would be easiest if I could just have tabs in place. But with 3D pocket, there is not way to specify tabs to leave?

 

I have it setup with a 2D contour for the tabs, but the only way to get them left is to leave some axial stock... but that means all my part below that line won't be machined. Picture attached.

 

What is the best way to do this?
