That is not something that belongs in Thunar. Like you said either in
GVfs, which in my opinion is actually the best idea, or alternatively
in Fuse, although I think there is already something like that.

You could even look into general GVfs support in Thunar which as such
would be a pretty cool task imho now that I think of it.
Also Thunar needs an extension interface, after GVfs this is my
personal favorite when it comes to Thunar deveopment.
