Yes, the outer trim in mine hides the rim, so whatever you do it will be masked.
However I would not use silicon, as then one day you might want it off and instead of simply taking it off you will be cutting the silicon and then cleaning it to be able to apply the new bead.
If there is at all space on the stubs left of the broken tabs, maybe you could simply drill holes in them and screw somehow some improvised extensions made from some metal strips, and then use those to hold your glass. BTW if the metal used was brass or even steel, those are solderable if cleaned well enough and the iron is powerful enough. So a piece of a tin can could be soldered to those. Or if a screw is too much, riveting could help.
Depends on how much of the stubs are left.
