No need to create custom options: you just need to install the thunar-archive-plugin to have both Compress and Extract Here options.

You may install it with the following command:

 sudo apt-get install thunar-archive-plugin

After installing (and closing all previous instances of Thunar), you will find both options in Thunar's right-click menu.

Nice! I especially like that it's at the top menu level.

Although your answer is 100% correct, it might also become 100% useless if that link is moved, changed, merged into another one or the main site just disappears... :-( Therefore, please edit your answer, and copy the relevant steps from the link into your answer, thereby guaranteeing your answer for 100% of the lifetime of this site! ;-) You can always leave the link in at the bottom of your answer as a source for your material...
